The plugin restriction doesn't affect the following user types:
- users with Super Administrator privileges,
- users with Administrator privileges.

A) Manually

1. Navigate to your ACL root folder.
2. Go to the children groups folder.
3. Create the text file with group name, e.g. the file calls group01.group.
4. Open the group01.group. Insert user id to the group file, each on single line (user id - "press enter" - user id - "press enter" - user id...), for example I inserted john, peter and monika - each user id separated by new lines.

   Directory list:

   --- groups (folder - container)
   ------ group01.group (file - group name)

   File content (John, Peter, Monika - 10, 11, 12):
   10
   11
   12

Please make sure your folders and files are readable for your server.

We can create a different group names with the different users inside, e.g.:

--- groups (folder - container)
------ lesson_1.group (file - group name)

File content (user id):
232
353

--- groups (folder - container)
------ lesson_2.group (file - group name)

File content (user id):
876
33

--- groups (folder - container)
------ lesson_3.group (file - group name)

File content (user id):
987
33
12

B) Automatically

Notes:

• You need Core Design Scriptegrator plugin installed.
• Enable jQuery JS library in Scriptegrator plugin configuration.

1. Visit User Manager page. There is a FACL icon next to the toolbar ones.
2. Click on FACL icon.

   

3. Now you can manage groups and users from Joomla! administration directly.
