hi,
i'm trying to setup a site with multiple users. this site will be used by my company to upload images, videos,vs... concerning ongoing projects for client approvals. So each client has a unique user. What i want is that i could be able to post content for a specific user, and the other users shouldn't see this content.
To achieve this, i setup all the users (eg. client1, client2, etc...), i set each user a unique role (eg. roleclient1 for client1, roleclient2 for client2, etc...), then using the simple access module, i setup separate access groups for each of these roles. So, when i post content, i can tick the access group (which is actually tied to my related client) to make sure that this post will only be viewable by this client.
1st question:
Is there a better way to achieve this? (In fact, in another scenario, i used Organic Groups, it did the same thing but it brought complications to the site structure, so i dumped that idea and went with the simple access module.)
2nd question:
Please imagine this: i login to the site as one of my clients. everything is fine,i cannot see any other content that's related to another client. But when i try to post something, the dilemma starts. If as an admin, i restrict users to not be able to see and chose from access groups, the post is public therefore seen by anyone (hence all clients), but on the other hand, if i make the access group accessible to these users to chose from, then they will see the list of my clients without even trying!!! I don't know if i'm clear enough, but...
