    Edit user groups in Umbraco 7.7

    Hi there

    Thanks in advance for your help. I created a package for Umbraco 7.7 which adds a new section to the left side bar in the backend. For some reason, it doesn't get displayed (even though I login as admininistrator).

    In previous Umbraco versions I was able to edit groups and add the section, but in this one I can't find a way to do that. Is there any way to edit groups? Please help!

    Regards

    Hi

    yes it's changed a bit in Umbraco 7.7 - sections are no longer associated with the user but rather the group.

    for Umbraco 7.7 i have the following function to add a section to the default (Administrators) group:

    private void AddSectionSevenSeven(string alias)
        {
            var adminGroup = _userService.GetUserGroupByAlias("admin");
            if (adminGroup != null)
            {
                if (!adminGroup.AllowedSections.Contains(alias))
                {
                    adminGroup.AddAllowedSection(alias);
                    _userService.Save(adminGroup);
                }
            }
        }

    Finally I think I got to the solution of my problem. It was easier than I expected. Basically, there is a Groups icon at the top that gets you into the Groups Management page. I got into that page and then I was able to edit the sections allowed for each User Group.

    Thanks for your help!
