Kunena 6.2.6 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.6 [K 6.2.6] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.1 / K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.2
Question Access control problem
I have just upgraded to kunena 1.7 from 1.5 and I am having some issues with access control, I was using an extension to achieve this in 1.5 where it worked fine, now it dosen't seem to.. I'm hoping I have just misunderstood the Joomla users group system.
So this is my current set up:
I have a usergroup like so
And I have my categories and forums configured like so
Now a user that I have assigned to Registered and A still is getting access to B, even if I uncheck Registered and only have A checked in (and even if I uncheck public).
Should I be doing something different or is there a real problem here?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Christopher

I have made a new User Group in Joomla called Members.
I have 3 forum sections. Registered Users can post and read the first forum. Once they get promoted to Member rank, they should be able to read the other forums.
In the Kunena category manager, I have set the first forum access to Registered (and the secondary user one to Registered as well). The other two categories are set to Member.
That should be that, since Kunena user groups are just cosmetic mostly (except the Admin and Moderator roles).
However, users that are in these groups can still see all the boards, or they can see none of the boards, or unexpected results.
So, its either I am doing something wrong, or there is something wrong in Kunena or Joomla.
Here is my config setting:

Also note that Joomla stores group information into session, so you cannot use one user to test those -- or at least you need to log out between tests.

Just posted an announcement though, for feedback from other users, just in case. I will let you know the outcome.

I need to reproduce this issue locally in order to see if there's something wrong in permission handling. The code itself is very simple and seems to be OK..

Each time I changed his permissions he logged out and reload the page and logged back in again.
The other user was Member rank, I demoted him to Registered, and then back to Member and he still has Registered priveleges.

User will get the right permissions in a few hours.
