What does Special Group means? Joomla User Groups could be used in the Access List?

[marcelf]

Hi all,

What does Special Group means? Is this mapped to Manager or Editor ?

Is there a way to use a new Joomla User Groups in the List Access?


Thanks,
Marcel

Fabrik uses Joomla's access levels.
It's totally up to you how you set up your Joomla groups and access levels.
If you are using unmodified Joomla defaults "Special" is mapped to groups Author, Manager and SuperUser group.
But you can add and modify as you need.

Thank you very much for your suport Troester!
Now I understand.

BTW: I always add an access level "nobody" (assigned to no group) and use it e.g. for "Empty records" in list access or to disable prefilters etc.

Hi Troester,
good tip, I have a list with Textarea field that receives a extracted text by apache tika to improve search (new form plugin) and we want hide this element, even for super user, and yours suggestion can solve this (put textarea field associated with nobody access level).
Thanks again,
Marcel
