Access Control List configuration is now supported starting with the beta 9 release of Zap Calendar 3.0. Access Control Lists, also known as ACL's, provide additional fine-tuning of permission settings within the Zap Calendar configuration. This feature is supported with Joomla versions 1.6 and above (Zap Calendar 3.0 will work with Joomla 1.5 but it does not support ACL's). Here are just a few examples of what can be done with the ACL feature in Zap Calendar:
- Create an event manager who can create and manage events but can not create or manage articles.
- Create a special group of users who can create and/or edit events from the front-end.
- Allow additional back-end users to maintain categories, locations and views.
- Provide multiple access levels for front-end groups ( i.e. add and delete, add-only, add, edit and delete, etc).
Beta 9 is now available for download to Zap Calendar subscribers at http://www.zcontent.net/zapstore . Zap Calendar users can renew or upgrade their subscription of Zap Calendar at the same link.
