System plugin (based on simple file structure) that allows additional control over your articles, categories and sections as well.

The plgin works,
however one minor setback. De cdfacl.php contains a Joomla-version check That's fine but if Joomla itself is updated (i.e. from 1.5.10 to 1.5.11) the user has to manually update the string for the version-check in the file cdfacl.php. Not very handy.

The "version-check" was removed in the newest version.
At first it took me some time to figure out how this plugin works.
I had to post a question to the support forum (by the way, the response time was super fast), but it turned out the problem was just my lack of knowledge.
I thought users of a group are restricted but it's the other way around. Users are privileged if that group belongs to e.g. editing of a certain section, category, article.
The plugin is easy configurable using UI in the back-end.

A component is created to manage the configuration piece. The text file based solution just isn't practical for non-techies/long term maintenance of a website.

The stable version includes the backend manager (called Interface) to control the permissions from Joomla! administration.
