RTFM, classes and group rights

Hello all,

I don’t understand how rights are applied to classes on RTFM.

I have two classes:

General
-Group rights:
–Everyone:
SeeClass
ShowArticle
ShowArticleHistory
–Helpdesk:
AdminTopics
CreateArticle
DeleteArticle
ModifyACL
ModifyArticle
ModifyArticleTopics
SeeClass
ShowACL
ShowArticle
ShowArticleHistory

Services
-Group rights:
–Helpdesk:
CreateArticle
DeleteArticle
ModifyArticle
ModifyArticleTopics
SeeClass
ShowACL
ShowArticle
ShowArticleHistory

Class General is for everyone and class Services is for articles that
helpdesk people use.
I’d like Unprivileged users to see only articles on class General but
not articles of class Services.
Each class has its own wikitext area CustomField.

If Global group rights are set like this:
–Everyone
ShowArticle

unprivileged users can search through the RTFM articles. They see all
articles. Even an article from the class Services but they doesn’t see
the article content. (because the CustomField right)

If Global group rights are empty, unprivileged users doesn’t see any
article. They can’t even search them.

I believe if global group rights are empty, per class group rights
apply. doesn’t?

Well, this question has gone too lengthy. Hope I’ve put everything you need.

Kind regards,

Adolfo

Currently RTFM’s SelfService search relies on ShowArticle being handed
out globally before the Search box will appear.
You are correct that you can limit by not granting SeeCustomField to
Unprivileged in one of your classes, but as of now, you need to grant
ShowArticle globally for it to be visible at all in SelfService.
