Q. I am interested in your extension for Joomla admin permission control. Can you please give me some examples to use your SUGA custom permissions rules?

A. To control permissions for administrators or managers accessing joomla backend, please see the following custom url examples. You can put urls like these in SUGA >> Custom Permissions, select SUGA group and set appropriate permission.

1) To restrict the whole media component:

administrator/index.php?option=com_media


2) To restrict sections:

administrator/index.php?option=com_sections

3) To restrict everything in com_plugins

administrator/index.php?option=com_plugins

4) but allow publishing of plugins

administrator/index.php?option=com_plugins&task=publish

to override the rule defined in no. 3 above we will put a number in order field of rule no. 4 that should be higher than the no. we entered in rule no. 3. For example, if we left order field blank (0) in rule no. 3, we need to put anything greater than 0 in rule no. 4. That allows you to override rules with other rules for the same component.

Similarly you can define your own permission rules to protect any part of the joomla backend, even from administrators.
