I have a friend who does my newsletter. I setup RSMail in my J!1.7.2 site and now I need to grant them access to RSMail. I don't really want them to have access to being able to edit my site pages (article manager), other components and modules. How can I grant access to one user to get into RSMail through the back-end, but not really get into anything else?

Thanks!

It's not yet possible to give some access to the RS Extensions.
What I have done is created a usergroup, who only have access to RS extensions and not to the rest.

I am editing my entire first response - to this: That's what I ended up doing as well. Created a group at the same level as Administrator, then turned off permissions to "everything" but the RS extensions and a few others that don't yet support ACL.

Thanks Wilco.

Hi Wilco:

Sorry to resurrect this topic, but our organization has a similar situation the OP where we would like to give our e-mail officer access to RSMail but nothing else. As Wilco mentioned, it is possible to work around this via using an administrative-level group where everything that can be turned off is turned off. However, this is inelegant and still exposes other components that do not use ACL support.

Does RSJoomla have any plans to make RSMail ACL-compatiable (similar to many of the native Joomla components)? It would be a great benefit to organizations such as ours.

Thanks for any help you can give us.
