Question Access control problem

OK, so I did some testing with other users. They can all see the forums OK once the rank is set to Member, but if I demote them back to registered, they cant see the forums. When I then re-promote them back to Member rank, they are still seeing the same thing as Registered users only. I fixed one user by making him a Moderator in the forums, taking Moderator away and it remains fixed.

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.

Oh, I totally forgot that in Kunena 1.6 you need to sync users every time you change users access and he has been logged in. This is because it caches users for session length.. We have changed that behavior in K2.0, which has now session based caching like Joomla 1.7.

User will get the right permissions in a few hours.

OK, so its just a timing thing? Good to hear. Thanks Matias.

More like caching. But there is two ways to work around it:
1) sync users
2) edit and save any category

Both can be done from the Kunena backend.

I reckon that this is SOLVED now Matias. Cheers!
