Briefly: in Joomla! 1.5 Authors were able to create and edit their own articles (in any category); Editors could, in addition, edit articles created by other users; and, finally, Publishers were the only users who could publish or unpublish articles. From version 1.6, article categories can grant a mixture of ‘Edit Own’, ‘Edit’ or ‘Edit State’ permissions to the defined user groups. A user may have ‘Edit Own’ permissions for some categories and full ‘Edit’ permissions for others. ‘Edit State’ can be distributed to yet a third combination of user groups and categories. The full range is decided by the site administrator when setting up categories and user groups; readers should refer to the Joomla! documentation for the full details.
The UAM aims, for any given user, to collect the editable articles and display them in an accesible manner.
Hi, great extension, but in setting "Category Options" is missing the selected button selection for assigning default category, very important to make fixed and not be selected by the user on frontend.
It would be great in backend setting if it was manageable all fields setting on "Publishing" and "Metadati" (display on/off in frontend).
Thank's.

This fixed an exact need. Thank You. I went to go donate since it is so excellent, but I didn't see the option. :-(
Very good extension. For me is very useful. It should belong to core.
Just what I was desperately seeking! Unbelievable that this functionality is not in the Joomla core! Keep on the good work.
I've used the Article Manager on a couple of sites now and have found that it gives me just the right amount of control over article submissions from site users.
I would agree with other commenters that it would be really useful to be able to delete an article entirely from the manager. Currently the most that can be done is put it into trash. However, this is a wish list item - the extension is already good enough in my opinion for an 'Excellent' rating.

For me the component would be perfect if it would give the possibility to the user to delete (not only trash) their article from the table of articles in the front end.
I looking for on the net if there are some possibility but I don't find any solution.

I downloaded it and it installed great and looks ok on the front end.
I would like however to see if the developer can put a way for any user on the frontend to submit articles and then a captcha and admin approval. I want any user being able to submit articles. Great product and hope you keep coding!

I was looking for something that the "author" could go back and edit your own article. But as the status was "unpublished" could not make it work by the Joomla 2.5.x. With this component achieved easily list all articles of an author, even unpublished.
Only I'm afraid not work for Joomla 3.5.x in the future. But they say that already works for Joomla 3.0'm calmer.

Hi and thanks for the review. A 'native' Joomla 3 version is in development. This will not rely on legacy classes and so should survive into 3.5 and beyond
Just getting my first Joomla site going and installed this extension. Does everything I wanted and needed it to. I had a minor problem and Rob Sykes was quick to respond and help me with it.
A big thanks to him and I'd have to say this is essential to have if you have multiple people needing to submit articles to your site.

Great idea. Just what I would have liked to use. But because I was specifically looking for Rights on Category level it did not answer to my needs. Users can choose any category to submit an article regardless of the specification of only one single category. Realy too bad and I hope you can find the time to modify the code so the selective category setting works. When that works I will grant you an Excellent!!!

UAM v0.17 and later should address this issue. Users with 'Author' or 'Editor' rights (as defined in a default Joomla 2.5 installation will be restricted to the given category when creating articles. 'Publisher' and superusers can still change category if desired
Really like this extension. So simple and so useful. The ONLY minor issue is that when creating 'new' articles, the component does not respect the restriction to a specific category as specified in the menu definition. This might allow a user to wander off into unapproved categories... But aside from that, well done sir!
I love Joomla dearly but its one failing for me has always been the point where I turn over a site I have designed to its actual "owner" for maintenance.
Inevitably there is a learning curve that I have to tutor them through.
UAM cuts that in half, by allowing me to present all of a user's article in one spot. No more searching for tiny "edit" links to articles etc.
Couple it with Articles Anywhere and you can essentially create a site that allows a user to change 75% of all articles and module content from the front end.
Bravo!

Literally only been using this for 10 minutes or so and its already made my work infinitely easier! I'm using this with Seblod to help manage user created articles and it appears to be pretty much perfect.. Just outstanding really, especially considering just how complicated integrating front-end article deletion is for many CCKs, its certainly saved me a few days work!! Thanks to the creator for their hard work and for bringing this to 1.7x, you deserve many many kudos my good man.
In J1.5 I used FUAM. Was looking for a UAM in J2.5, and is this is the one for me. Installed it, and it is working like I was used to. Thank you for the extension!
