Adding Permissions to Article Topics

When you configured the permissions for the Anonymous group, you added the tiki_p_read_article permission. This allows anonymous visitors to read articles.

Tiki's robust permissions system makes it easy to add different permissions to different article topics.

  1. From the Articles menu in the Menu module, click Admin Topics.
    Admin Topics
    The Admin Topics option in the Articles menu.

  2. The Admin Topics page appears. Click the Permissions icon (Permissions ) for the article topic that you created earlier.
    Admin Topics
    The Admin Topics page list the article topics and allows you to create new topics.
  3. The Assign permissions to topic page appears. Click the Edit Permissions tab.
  4. In the Assign permission to this object area, assign the tiki_p_read_article permission to the Registered group and click Assign.
    Assign permissions to this object.
    Making the article topic readable only to Registered users.


    Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.
    Assign permissions to this object.
    Now only Registered users can read the topic.


Now log off as the admin. As an anonymous user, if you try to list the articles, Tiki shows that there are no articles available:

Articles page.
Anonymous users cannot access the article.
