How to restrict access to leaderboard?

[Apfelstrudel]

Hi,

how can I restrict the access to the leaderboard? I don't want guests to access it.

How can I enable the leaderboard only for specific user groups?

I didn't find any setting in user groups.

You can set access permissions via the modules permissions https://invisionpower.com/4guides/how-to-use-ips-community-suite/member-preferences-and-features/module-level-permissions-r280/

Really? I didn't find a setting regarding the leaderboard.

Sorry, I was wrong  
It is tied to the Content Discovery Module.

And that means we can not restrict visitor access to leaderboard?  

[Apfelstrudel]

It looks like that we can not restrict. Yes Marius. ?

I don't know how to optimize and test the leaderboard as an admin without giving guest access. Yes I can hide the menu item. But that's not really a restriction. I have to test the performance first. We have a huge amount of posts starting 15 years ago. That's a long "all time" query. ?

ips, please add something to restrict access to this area!

Content Discovery is the activity streams and search, right?

So you want guests to search but not to use Leaderboard?

[Apfelstrudel]

Yes, it is. So you can only enable/disable both.

I'll try a quick plugin within an hour.

Haven't tested it well. Please, see if guests can still search, etc.: Leaderboard Access Permisison.xml

 

[Apfelstrudel]

Thanks but guests still have access to the leaderboard.

Update: Sorry, didn't see the screenshots before. ... checking it again.

Guests use a cache accross the suite so it can take a few seconds to "start" working.

You weren't joking! 20 minutes!

Works great @Adriano Faria. Thanks!

Ok, just submitted it to the marketplace: https://invisionpower.com/files/file/8403-leaderboard-access-permisison/

Hello @Adriano Faria,

your plugin works perfectly. Thanks again.

But could you please change the permission management away from a rewoke system to an allowed system, like the standard ipb permission system?

Otherwise it is almost impossible to grant leaderboard access only to specific groups, especially when they are part of secondary usergroups.

This would be great!
