Permissions for new page

[dbrooke]

Hello, how do you make it so only a custom usergroup (besides admins / mods) can see a new page that I created?

Unfortunately there is no no permission settings for new pages created.

You could hide the content via CSS based on usergroup but since it's only CSS the content is only hidden on the screen but is viewable in the source.

Thanks Glenn, I think rather I'll just create an HTML post in a protected forum... then link to that from the sub-header menu... that way it will only be viewable by a usergroup. Sounds like another Forum Feature Suggestion. :-)

You can add the text via a PHP Module and then just put a condition around it. This example will only show the text if the user is in the Administrator usergroup:

if (vB5_User::get('usergroupid') ==1) { 
echo 'You do not have permission to see this page';
} else {  
echo '<span style="color: red;">This is a welcome message since you are an Admin!</span>';
}

You could also do it using an Ad Module or Notice and configure it to be visible with desired usergroup. You can only choose one usergroup though. If you want multiple usergroups to have permissions to view it, then you have to duplicate the Ad Module or Notice and then change the usergroup

There is a Feature Request for this here: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-1819

The more votes it gets, the more visible it becomes.
