I am having a problem with permissions for my custom usergroups. I only want to give permission to use this to my premium usergroup which is a custom usergroup.

It works fine if the member has a primary usergroup that is a default usergroup and the "premium" is checked as an additional.
The problem occurs when the member has a custom usergroup set as their primary. It seems then to override.

This set up works fine for all other DBT mods.
 
I can't see a direct problem, it's set up the way all other usergroup perms are set up - Yes overrides a No.
 
Thanks for the quick response. I was mistaken it is giving me the same results in the Thread/Post Bookmarking.

I have triple checked all permissions for each usergroup and tried several combinations and end in the same result when the custom usergroup is set as primary. :(

Ok I figured it out.

The primary usergroup must have the 'Allow Users to Have Member Groups' option set to Yes. This will allow the rule of thumb for a Yes permission in an additional usergroup to override a No permission in a Primary usergroup.
 
Could you try disabling all other mods other than PT and see if that helps?

If it doesn't, could you give me detailed instructions on how to replicate your setup - i.e. list the PT perms for your two UGs and how the affected users have them set up (primary / secondary etc)

Hopefully with that I can reproduce it, if not I'll be comin' back here wantin' in on your FTP ;)
 
this is actually a vBulletin bug, not dbtech...

Say you give a user 3 usergroups
two of them cannot enter "X" section, but one of them can..

that user cannot enter the "X" section.
nothing to do with dbtech afaik..(I could have mis-read this whole thread)
 
Really... I always just assumed that the UG permissions overwrite correctly, I've never ran into an issue where 1 usergroup setting a perm to Yes has failed to overwrite all No's...

If that's the case then that would indeed explain this :)
 
Thanks guys but as you can see in this post I figured out the issue. You must have missed that. ;)

Changing the 'Allow Users to Have Member Groups' option set to Yes fixed the whole permission issue.

All is well in my world again.
 
Oh wow, I never even knew that existed :D

Thanks for the info, I learned something new today too :)
