Como Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Hi all, I'm surely missing something, but I am trying to set up subscriptions, but restricted to certain usergroups. I wish to do this initially for testing purposes. When launching proper, subscriptions should be unavailable to guests. I also need to a way to remove access to subscription services for some members (those banned from their use). The purpose of the subscription scheme is to assign a secondary group to allow access to a community add-on feature. (Two levels of subscription, actually.) I also wish to add an unconnected subscription option, again, with the ability to disallow access for those within a specific 'banned' usergroup. Both subscription schemes require a certain level of responsible behavior from members. Hence my need to be able prevent access for those who fail to understand how to behave. (I would necessarily wish to ban them from the community outright.) Thanks.
Marc Posted August 19 Posted August 19 There is no way in which to limit individual subscriptions to only specific people. You can however limit the section as a whole by using module permissions. https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/security-and-rules/member-permissions-r305/#perm_modules
Como Posted August 19 Author Posted August 19 (edited) Hi @Marc Thanks for the reply. I suppose I can limit access (for individuals) at the payment processor end, but that's not ideal. And I can use what you have suggested for testing purposes. What I miss (from SMF) is the three permissions system: Allow Disallow Deny When 'deny' in any usergroup would override 'allow' from another. I can't imagine that kind of change is on the cards here, but it makes a lot of things much easier to manage. Is it possible to have two subscription systems? Standalone option 1 Standalone option 2 Tear 1 Tear 2 I guess I can test it out for myself now, using your suggestion of module permissions to limit access during testing. Edited August 19 by Como
Marc Posted August 19 Posted August 19 No. You would need to use products rather than subscriptions if you have multiple tiers of upgradable items
