Missing toolbar icons when using ACL Topic is solved

[sandormatyas]

Hi guys. I wanted to create an user who is limited to add/edit VirtueMart products.
I added a new user group based on public, allowed to login to backend, allowed create, delete, edit. Also added the permissions in Virtuemart. Everything works well except there are no toolbar buttons like Save, Apply, etc. What did I miss?
I know I can use Manager group as parent but in this case the permission logic is reversed, I would need to disable all of the components and I'm afraid if we install new extensions we'll forget to remove the permissions from the editors.
Any guess with this? Which permission affects the toolbar?

In Virtumart Options >>> Permissions ... Allow 'Access Administration Interface' for the new user group
if no avail
Users >>> Access levels ... Special ... select the new user group.

Nope. If I add the new group to the special access level, I get access to all of the components and I don't want disable every single component manually. I want a disabled permission by default and allow only what I need.
But I think is not related to VirtueMart.
I added all of the permissions to com_contact and this is what I get: https://snipboard.io/eyG0KM.jpg
All access but no toolbar buttons even when everything is allowed: https://snipboard.io/iJlh01.jpg

Only if you allow access in Global config. If you only allow login then they will see the Admin menu items but won't be able to add, edit delete etc. You can then just set those just for Virtumart. In order to see the menu the user needs to be in a user group that is selected in 'Special' Access level. The reason is the Admin menu module is set to 'Special' Access level.

But I'm talking about the toolbar buttons not the admin menu. I don't need the menu but need the new/apply/save/trash etc icons

If you use Manager as Parent of the new group then the Virtuemart show but not when Public is Parent, yes?
Then Manager can 'See' what your user group can not.

The Virtuemart Admin module is set at Access level 'Special'.
In order to see it :
1. Your new User group needs to be selected in the 'Special'.
Then
2. With 'Access Administration Interface' for the new user group in Global config Set Not Allowed (inherited) ... go to Virtuemart Permissions set the new user group 'Access Administration Interface' Allowed.

I have just tested and that is the only way I can get it to work

Addendum
You could change the Virtuemart Admin module Access level to public, perhaps that would work? But that would be bad practice

Forget VirtueMart. It's the same with every other core components. Content, users, contact, banners etc

Permissions do NOT control what a a logged user of a user group sees. Permissions control what that user can do with what they see.

Controlling What Users Can See

Controlling What Users Can Do

You started off saying it was the new user group couldn't see the edit etc. menu for Virtuemart. Now you say it is all the core components. The user group needs to be selected in Users >>> View/levels >>> 'Special' to see the Virtuemart Toolbar (I tested it).

Please be more specific of your problem a few screenshots would help.

I didn't say anything about the menu. VirtueMart was an example but this is the same with the other component.
But you're right I tried so many things, I accidentaly added Access Administration Interface globally. So when I removed this and assigned the group to special level, I got the toolbar buttons. The key was that I didn't know that toolbar is a module
Thanks for your help
