An access control list defines sets of permissions for different groups of Joomla users.
There are two types of element permissions in Joomla:
- Access rights (permissions)
- Permissions to administer specific Joomla components and their entities.
- Access levels
- Permissions to view specific front pages and their elements.
Useful information!
The ACL system in Joomla since version 2.5 allows you to very flexibly configure access rights for user groups.
