Appelmus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 Hello! Is there a way to allow a user (guest) to view only one branch in tree with serval branches? Best regards Appelmus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newfloridian 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 In Admin > Users > Edit Existing User (or when adding a new user), after the section for Roles: and Rights there is a section: Access Limits. Radio box Restrict above rights to the following allow the choice of Tree and within that Branch. Optional notes are at the bottom. Alan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appelmus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 Hello Alan, hello Ken! I think Ken is right. Unfortunately, it is impossible to arrange a user from different branches only one for the view. Would that not be a task for a mod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Roy 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 I certainly would not want to tackle that as a mod since branch access is used throughout TNG. My site has been open (that is not requiring login) for 13+ years. Allowing visitors and users to see everyone that is deceased in the multiple trees only helps other users who are trying to create the genealogical tree. Restricting access to view living protects living relatives information while allow those who are part of the branch (descendant from the same grandparent) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Appelmus 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2019 You may be right. My project is a Ortsfamilienbuch, a local family book, with a lot of families (branches) that are not related to each other. Such a restriction would already make sense. But I can also live without this restriction.🙁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Restricting access to view living protects living relatives information while allow those who are part of the branch (descendant from the same grandparent) I like the idea of making it easier to share information but I have a few questions. First, when I changed to privacy setting so it does not require a login, I went to the Photos page and don't understand why a pic of one 3 year old child shows while the other pics of living people do not. The yellow section is what shows when I login. The second issue I have with not requiring a login is that I have some docs that show birthdates of living people. I created custom calendars for 10 years that show the birthdates and full names of living relatives. See attachment of just one page. Is there a way to block some media from showing?

manofmull 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 Mary Sometimes I "open up" my site (remove login) but retain registered members ability to do so. I installed Erik's very good mod that allows you to control what visitors can or can't see without logging in. https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Public_Access_Control Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaryGB 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 Thanks. I currently don't use any mods but I will look into this mod as a quick read looks like it would do what I want. Until then, I will require the login. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
