Question Confused by groups permissions

[Seeker-Smith]

So I get the permissions in the main usergroups. But when I try to hide a group to unregistered via the S-G permissions it still show up.



Shouldn't it be hidden?

I guess you have to choose never in this case.

You should read through the permissions docs:

Permissions | Manual | XenForo

End-user documentation for XenForo

Hi
I never thought to try never but it still doesn't hide that group.

I think this is how it's intended to work. With the "never" permission guests should not be able to access the group (no matter if it's "public" or another type), but I am pretty sure the "view group" permission does not have an impact on the groups list.

Seems odd that there are separate permissions that don't do anything. In nodes you have user groups permissions then you have node permissions. I would have expected the same with S-G's. Yes?

Do you know about this? Am I missing something in permissions?

I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet, I’ll get to it when I can

I had a chance to work with this some more. The permissions do work but not quite as I expected.

Example View group "no and never" stop guests from accessing the group but it's still visible in the group list.

I'm not entirely sure if there was a specific reason for why I didn't filter unviewable groups. I'll change it for the next version and we'll see if something goes wrong.
