I wanted to get different groups with different levels in Joomla 1.5 series. Waiting for 1.6 with the built in acl was no option so i tried several components, also Juga. The core php acl component looked good en clean. The first things were a little bit difficult and there were some things that needed some extra attention. Kobby however was very helpfull and we chatted a lot and tried even more. The result: a perfect component that exactly does what they say it has to do :).
Cheers!
Cheers!

Perfect! I messed around with JUGA and noixACL and couldn't get either to work like I needed them to. corePHP Community ACL was simple, intuitive and with a little help from tech support, I was able to set permissions for users down to the module. I did encounter a few error messages at the top of the pages on the front end, but this was quickly resolved by tech support.

Without Community ACL, my project would have been sunk before it even left the docks! Without a doubt, corePHP has some of the friendliest, hardest working staff out there!
The component itself bring a level of control to your site that I don't even think Joomla! 1.6 will have out of the box. From the broadest access controls to the most granular areas of a component, Community ACL can restrict/grant anything you want... of anything! Without a doubt, the best purchase I've made in a long time.
And again, the support, is top notch. Thanks Kobby and the rest of the team!

I can't say enough about this component. It's rare I buy commercial components but this one makes Joomla complete if you want it to truly function as it should. I had a lot of installation and configuration issues but the developers sorted them out and went above and beyond to sort out a modification to my template.
I don't know if 1.6 will have acl functionality anywhere near what this can do but I doubt it. It allows and deny's access to users on every level and is just what I've been looking for for years.
Just so you know, I rarely leave feedback either, I just had to let people know that this component really is the real deal.

I've used and had to abandon other ACL products. This one works and the support has been prompt and extremely helpful and professional. The flexibility on the configuration options is quite thorough.

I wasted my money on JUGA and banged my head against the wall with noixACL before switching to Community ACL and I couldn't be happier.
Community ACL supports ALL third party components and allows you to block specific parts of each components. JUGA does not support many third party components such as jReviews, Agora Forum, etc. and conveniently doesn't advertise that on their product description.
On top of the fact that this product supports all third party extensions, it was much easier to install and get running then any other ACL I've ever used. It's very intuitive, and the manual is short and easy to understand, because they've made everything simple.
Finally, the support has been excellent with quick turnaround times on any questions I've had (usually same day or the next).
If you are looking for a fully functional, easy to use ACL that really unlocks the power of Joomla 1.5, you don't need to look any further.

A very easy to use and secure component. With such a tool, you can easily control access to your modules (specially useful for menus) and components. Sections, categories and articles can't be read too even if the "attacker" uses the direct url. Users "groups" allow us to configure access to a specific set of users.

Best ACL i've come across. Great company! Im a veteran web designer since the 80s.
Support is instant. And i do mean Instant and over the top.
Install is smooth and right the first time. More then worth the money.
Blocks users from being able to search articles which is one of a kind.
OTHER companies ACL allows you to still search and view articles even when restricted.
I really look forward to trying out their other products. Good job!

I am using Joomla 1.5.9. I have purchased this component and using this on my site to control access of my development team so that they dont fudge around other installations. I will also be using this component to set access of our authors of documents, so that they only edit articles in their designated sections>categories.
The component is very easy to use install though it gave me some errors. But i followed their manual installations of individual modules, plugins, hacks, and its UI is self explanatory. It has very extensive access controls like controlling Edit/delete actions of individual users.
But i feel, for such a great component there needs to be a better documentation to explain the concepts of Groups>roles ? The documentations is not detailed. Its a one page text file. But their support is very fast. Within 24hrs they are replying.
I hope they will come up with good documentations explaining how to use their features and not just definitions of the features.
