Using the ACL to control access to Components

There are occasions where you want to restrict access to the administrator components - for instance of you need to give access to the submissions form a RS Form Pro Form.

1.  Add a new user group

Users > Groups > New 

Give it a name (marketing for example)  and make the Group Parent 'Manager', Save and Close.

2.  Create a new User and assign them to the new group

3.  Grant access to the component you wish them to use and deny to all others

System > Global Configuration - then set access as desired.  I found I had to turn off the following, which were all automatically allowed:

Media
Banners
News feeds
Smart Search
Templates
