Will your ACL support this scenario

[jen4web]

This is a school Joomla website.

There are 2 administrators who will be editing and updating the website.
There are 65 parents, each of whom should be able to view a unique page about their child's progress at school without seeing any of the other pages. These are standard articles. The parents only need to view the page, not edit it.

- Does your software support this scenario?

- Do I have to install Community Builder to get it working? Is there documentation that tells me how to configure CB to work with your component? Or do I also have to buy the CB documentation?

- Are there any red flags or pitfalls I should be aware of with this scenario?

Thanks,

Jen,

Yes - you would create a root group for each of the classes (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th graders) and under the group - you would create a role for each of the parents that defines that they have access to and apply it to the user.

You do not need CB at all for this type of setup. the software does however work with CB - it only syncs with the CB tables - so there is no work on your end other then installation of a plugin if the installer does not install it for you.

I do not see any red flags as of this moment.

Kindest regards,
