JUGA is NOT A HACK and it is NOT ENCODED.
JUGA installs and uninstalls *easily* as a component. To activate/de-activate it, just install and publish/unpublish the JUGA Plugin/Mambot. And we believe in leaving our source code open, so you can modify JUGA as you wish.
With JUGA, you can assign users to multiple groups. In fact, you can create an infinite number of new groups, so you could assign a single user to a unique group, thereby achieving customized individual access rights for each user.
After installing JUGA, merely synchronize it with your site's components and content. Then tell JUGA which variables it should restrict for each component (in the case of Fireboard, for example, you would tell JUGA: "func", "catid", "task", "id", etc). Then, define which items each group has access to. After assigning users to JUGA groups, activate the Plugin/Mambot and voila! It works the exact same way for your back-end.
We have released a modified version of the Joomla! Main Menu Module. It has been modified to work with JUGA>>Groups and hides menu items from view when a user doesn't have access to them.
We also have a JUGA Content Plugin/Mambot. Now you can show certain portions of a content item to any/none/some/all JUGA>>Groups. It works like JHide and RokAccess.
We also have an admin-side template for Joomla! 1.0 that extends JUGA's controls over your J!1.0 Admin Control Panel. This template isn't necessary for J!1.5 as the JUGA System Plugin will already control the admin-side for you.
Finally, we also have mod_hiddenbyjuga, a JUGA Module that allows you to HIDE MODULES based on the user's JUGA Group!

this is an amazing plugin... very complex (read the doc... don't try it without as they say), but considering the complexity of what they're doing, it's extremely well done.
glad it's very easy to 'uninstall' by just disabling the main system plugin, because it's incompatible with the extension j2xml when used on the back-end. can't use j2xml on the backend if juga is on at all (even if it's not doing any backend checking).
of course both extensions think it's something wrong with the other ;-)

Great Extensions and does the job as it say.
I was skeptic at first for this extension but it does the job perfect.
But since im a pro in joomla i dont know how beginner users with interact with this extension.
However there are very useful materials on their site.
Thanks

Not only does it work brilliantly, the support is top-notch as well. After struggling for several days with noixACL, we installed this and it all just worked.
There are some minor issues, but I'm pretty certain they're specific to our server not the software. Due to the way Joomla works it doesn't restrict articles in the administration, but everything else we needed to restrict access to is now hidden. Highly recommended.

I'm pretty new to JUGA, but I had a problem out of the gate with the menu function working with my YOO Studio template. The team at Dioscouri worked very hard to fix it... and they did. It took a while (a week of pretty much daily back and forth communication) and at one point they thought they would have to do some custom work (which I paid them to do), but in the end they were able to update a mod and php help file so they returned the custom fee. Nice service.
A very good system to organize the Users and the pages, menus, informations, etc. access in your site. Thanks to Discouri for the support received to solve my installation problem. A very professional support.
A very good component !
I can make some new groups, attribute a user to this group and simply restricted the access of articles or other thing on the website.
I think is a "unique" component because I try some others but nothing like this one !
I have a little problem with my cookies system but quicly resolved with the professional support of Dioscouri Team !

I've been using Joomla about 4-5 and made about 20 websites. I have learned that non-commercial components are sometimes very useful but lack support and updates needed for newer versions of Joomla. I used AEC couple years with Joomla 1.0.12 and I was happy because it was non commercial and suited to my needs (AEC is now commercial).
Now I updated 1.0 site to 1.5 site and I was looking for a component which does everything I want to achieve. I found Juga and asked several questions from the Dioscouri team before the purschase and they answered every day to my questions and made things clear to me. After couple weeks of questions I was sure that I can make my project work even better than AEC with Juga and Ambra Subscriptions combined.
I can honestly say that this component works very well and with excellent support you can make your site work in few days.

For quite some I have been looking at ways to monetise my websites and not really come up with any decent ideas. However last week I spotted this in the JED so thought I would investigate and I am very pleased I did.
Like others have said, at first it takes some effort to get your head around what is happening and I agree that the documentation could be improved. However the support given has been first class which has made getting to grips with JUGA so much easier. I was worried that my questions might appear basic but each time they replied quickly giving full answers.
If you are serious about having a multi-level membership environment on your website then this is exactly the extension you need.

I purchased the Juga commercial extension, which was well worth it, considering the time and effort I would have invested in trying to come up with my own solution.
I had a few difficulties with configuring the extension, primarily because it does a lot more than I expected, but the Juga support team was extremely patient, responsive, and helpful, and it's working like a charm now.
I would recommend this extension.

They really know a job and this is most professional extension I used ever. Support is excellent and quick.
This extension is for people who know what they want from it and has many option. Be prepare to spend some time to learn basics. Tutorials are great on their page.

I got tired of waiting for J!1.6 and after looking at the Alpha ACL I'm glad I went with JUGA. While no ACL is going to be easy to understand out of the box I found a big mental block with JUGA.
At some point though I just started to "get it" and now can make it do all kinds of nifty tricks. I have lots to learn but the product is definitely doing what I need it to do.
Support from Dioscouri has been exemplary in every respect. They truly care about me as a customer and it shows.
Highly recommended!

I would suggest printing out the instructions and reading them away from your PC before jumping in.
It allows me to have a site with different access rights without any input from me, together their Ambra Subscriptions depending on what they paid for.
Can be used to access forums too.
Support has been very quick - Steve

As Webmaster for a small school district, I needed some form of ACL so that I could allow others to contribute content without worrying about this. JUGA and com_contentsubmit are perfect for this.
I would like to say that carefully reading and following directions for implementation is an absolute must. It is my humble opinion that the negative reviews stem from a lack of careful reading.
And, customer service is prompt and "spot on" with their help.
This is the only extension on my sites for which I pay - and my money is well spent!
Thanks!

This extension's brilliance is it's biggest downfall. It's an incredibly powerful extension but this can be very difficult to understand for a novice user.
If you take the time to understand how it works and what it can do then you'll get a lot out of it. The only negative reviews that i can see for this extension are from people who haven't fully understood how it works.
This extension is particularly useful when you integrate it with AEC subscriptions.
