I am relatively new to Joomla!
I followed the manual to set up a menu which should be accessible only to Special users. I set the module access level for the menu to Special, all menu items are set to Special, and all content pages accessible from the menu are set to Special.
The menu is invisible to unregistered users. However, when I log in using any registered account (say as Publisher) Joomla lets the user access the menu (and modify contents).
I am using Joomla! version 1.0.12.

Any ideas?

"special" should not be visible for registered only visitors. Could you try another login that is "registered" and not publisher or anything.
The access levels:
public -> every visitor
registered -> only registered visitors
special -> only registered visitors that have level author or higher.

Thank you for your reply!
The menu is invisible to Registered users. But in the latest Joomla manual, on page 44, it says
"Special:  Determines that the article will only be available to users with Manager, Administrator, or Super Administrator permissions."
I guess this is not true any longer?

Or maybe I am wrong... I always thought that "special" was every level higher then registered....

I am afraid you are right: "registered" does not include Authors etc.
But since the Manual has it differently I guess this has been changed in one of the releases?
Any ideas on how to change the code so that Joomla behaves as described in the manual?  ;)

Hi Guys,

This is an error in the User Manual that I had already picked up and is marked for correction in the 2nd edition.

The correct levels are identified in the Help Screen available http://help.joomla.org/content/view/228/153/ on page 3

If anyone should find discrepancies like this please let us know in the User Manual 1.0.x Feedback forum.

Thanks

Andy

Has anyone found a way to set menus so that ...

1.) Public users see one or two menu items

2.) Registered users see a few more

3.) 'Authors' see a few more
and
4.) Admins & higher see all of these plus some?

I would REALLY like to be able to do that.

I am having the same problem. When I set things to "special" access, all registered users are able to see it. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks in advance for the help :)

Now I have realized that my access level is working everywhere except for the User Menu and Main Menu. It does work in the top menu. Please help if you can :)

I am having an issue with access levels which I hope someone can advise me on. My website uses a pre-built Joomla template with the Fireboard Forum component. It has integrated well with the Joomla access levels, but I have had one problem...

Once someone has been given Editor status to access our officer forums, if I demote their status back to Author status, for some reason they still seem to be able to see the forums which require Editor status. I have not found any way to reset it and several people who stopped being officers had to create new accounts on our site since I could not modify their old ones appropriately. Any advice about how to fix this would be welcome!

If this issue is still persistent, you might try changing the display of the menu from List to Legacy - Vertical or vice versa (from within the module properties). I found that mine did the same thing with a prebuilt template from another designer and once I changed the list style, it was fixed.
