My understanding of the DENY permission is that it takes priority over permissions assigned by any other group.

My understanding of the DENY permission is that it takes priority over permissions assigned by any other group.

That's what I thought Matth, with the current settings in Downloads Pro, PostGroup settings will ALWAYS take priority, which is plainly wrong.....

Any update to this issue SMF? It really is becomming a problem for me....

You can try this.
I am just thinking ahead I am going to run into other issues that users who deny one group but allow another so really confuses me what to do.

[Eddy Matthews]

Thanks SMF, I'll give it a try and see what happens.....

To me it seems simple - Primary membergroups should take priority, then Additional membergroups, and finally Postgroups....

And the default setting should be "Deny"....

So if the Primarygroup says deny, STOP checking, that's it!
If Additional membergroup says deny, STOP checking any further... However, if there is NO additional group specified AND Primary says Allow, then check Postgroups.
And finally, check Postgroups, but ONLY if Primary and/or Additional Allow it...

At least that's the way I would say things should work....

Sorry SMF, that doesn't work....

If the user has PrimaryMembergroup set to "Deny", and thier Postgroup says "Allow", then they can download, so the Postgroup is overriding every other setting

In fact after more testing, it seems to be allowing anyone to download, even if thier Postgroup says "Deny"
