Hi guys,

am I doing something wrong? I want to crant an author rights to write an item in the backend.

I created a user tester.

tester is in the joomla default groups

public, manager, puplisher

in K2 tester is assigned as siteowner.

If i logg in with this user to the backend it says:

You are not authorised to view this resource.

If i grand the tester adminrights it works.

There must be something wrong?

regards, Tobi

same on :(

joomla v 1.7.4 stable
k2 v 2.5.5

joomla user as : publisher
k2 user as : siteowner (all rights on 'yes' / all cat. selected)

only works if joomla user on 'superadmin' !

So... i've got the solution!
I'm trying to help you with my so poor english ^^

first you have to create a new 'usergroup' in joomla, call him for example : authorsarticles.
You must use 'public' group as a parent for him.

2) Go to 'Users' => 'acces level' => edit the 'special' level => add the new group 'authorsarticles' this level. (chek box)

3) go to 'website or site' (top left) => configuration => TAB 'rights' clic on the group 'authorsarticles'

check the box like the screen

4) Go to 'articles manager' => parameters => TAB 'rights'
check the box like the screen

5) Go to K2 'elements manager' and repeat the operation -> 4)

6) affect to a test member the 'authorsarticle' group

7) Connect you with this test member login... It's working!!!

I hope it's help you ;-)
