Frontend-User-Access (pro) ComponentModulePluginLanguage

With Frontend-User-Access you can set frontend access restrictions to:

* menu items (comes with menu-module)
* components
* modules
* articles (specific articles)
* articles by category
* articles by section

Try the free trial version.

You can make as many usergroups as you need and assign users to them. There are 2 predefined usergroups which are very userfull:

* 'not logged in'
* 'logged in but not assigned to any usergroup'

You can configure for each restriction-type (components, modules, sections etc.) to reverse the access, so any box ticked becomes a restriction instead of an access-right.

With the user plugin you can auto-assign new users to usergroups (pro).

Frontend-User-Access is NOT A HACK.

This is one of the best extensions I've ever bought!

If you need to have certain modules hidden for specific users, then this is exactly what you need.

The installation is simple, the configuration is easy (how to guides are available if needed), the support is awesome and the outcome is great

I had a problem when trying it on at first and I contacted the developper. In a few minutes/hours I had a response and in less than 24 hours, he had created a patch correcting what didnt work for me. What a service.

I seriously recommand this extension if you want to hide modules. I haven't tried all of the possibilities but still, it does everything I need for now and I hear there are some other functionnalities coming up this fall.

You have to pay to have all the functionnalities, but at 100$ Canadian dollars ( app. 59 euros), it's way more than worth it!
I have to say, the idea of this extension is absolutly what I have been waiting for. This could work great to create user groups for a photography site. But installing the trial version of this was very confusing, and I consider myself pretty tech savvy.
