Groups and Database

Mea culpa:)

After some vodou dances with Access Levels (creating new levels with different permissions)  and Visibility Options (in Studio/Pages/Blocks) my Groups starts to be shown for all members, even close groups:(

Now all custom levels are deleted, all blocks signed as shown to selected levels (Standard, Premium, Admin etc, except Unauthorized)

BUT STILL: I have totally open groups for all site's members (it's still testing site with 20 mmbrs) and I can't even imagine how to get things back. 

Near this one I've installed a fresh  UNA site with clean DB and trying to copy DB columns. In fresh one groups are properly closed and works well.

 

And now - the question: Which column is grant Close Group access for it's memebers?

Thanx in advance:)))

      when column sys_profiles is copied to clean (well working) DB all groups starts to be transparent (even closed) something in members levels changing makes this table be the possible reason of all mess. imho

      • It's not safe to make direct DB change, also it's very bas idea to just copy one table from one database to another, since there are many relations between the tables.

        Please check `bx_groups_data` table, `allow_view_to` field, this field controls who can see the group.

        • Thanx Alex. In that table everything is OK ' according to levels of content (3, c, etc)

          I'm fully understand that only one table is not enough. it all or nothing.

          Copying was an instrument to discover when it starts to be broken. And I've find it: In profiles. And I do isolate one single profile wich was the troublemaker. after it's deletion everything came back to good. 

          This profile was affected during New Membership Level creation process. Now, (after backups:)) I'm going to try it once again. I'll keep you posted about:)
