Groups
The Groups providers a restriction center for users depending on their type.
By default it offers a list of all the standard Joomla! user group types, as described by the image below.
Clicking on one of the user group types will open up a page that will display the current group restrictions. This basically applies for all groups but some of the options are disabled for some of them. For example, Public front-end users can't edit their own comments (see the screen shots below: left Registered group, right Public front-end group).
Available RSComments! group specific restrictions
- Post new comments : the guest will be able to post (or not) events.
- Autopublish : posted comments by this group will be published automatically (without the need for a moderator to publish it from the back-end area).
