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

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!
