Multi-Sites Partial user sharing version 1.0
Multi-Sites Partial user sharing version 1.0
Share partially the users between websites. This also allow you to have users who have different group level associated in each website.
In addition, it is possible to grant the user permission automatically to a list of website defined in each slave site. So that a same user can have access in several website pre-configured.
This set of plugins only work on Joomla 1.6 or 1.7.
It also requires the Jms Multi Sites 1.2.62 or higher.
Concept of the partial user sharing
In joomla 1.6 and 1.7 there is a new functionality that allow assign a user to a specific group of user.
Therefore, to have a partial user sharing, the idea is to share all the users information between the website except their User Group association but also have the possibility to propage the same group level association to a restricted list of websites.
This is what these plugins are doing.
There is plugin that patch the Jms Multi Sites user sharing for Joomla 1.6 and 1.7 that allow describing a sharing that exclude the user group level association.
And there is another plugin that allow in a specific website to duplication (propagate) the user group level association to a list of slave site selected.
Once a user is partial shared between website, it is also possible to assign it different "User Group Level".
So that you could have a "registered users" in a website that become a "Super Administrator" in another website (or the reverse).
Partial user sharing in JMS
The first patch add the "Partial User Sharing" definition in Jms Multi Sites.
The second "user" plugin is used to propagate the same "User Group Level association" into several website.
The propagation is required when you want automatically grant the user to have access to a specific list of slave site.
Otherwise, the users will be shared but will just have access on the website where it was created. You will have to login in each website to grant the permission to a specific website.
