Roles are not group specfic

With the rise of the rewritten OGUR 4.x for Drupal 6, in which many unrelated features of OGUR were removed, and nearing a release of Drupal 7, I'm closing down old issues.

I would assume you're doing something wrong. Group roles only allow you the permissions of the role while in the group. It sounds like in your case, you have given the users site-wide roles.

OGUR 6.x-1.x will continue to be maintained by me.

Same Problem,

I'm having the same problem. I'm using the following module versions

Organic Groups 6.X-2.0
OG User Roles 6.X-1.5 (We wanted the additional features provided by 6.x-1-5)

Simply stated I have a user who is the President of Group A, and as such he is assigned "Configure Member Roles" permission. When he accesses his group, he is able to assign roles as expected.

However, when this user now becomes a 'standard member' of another group, he still has access to the configure member roles button, and is able to assign roles within this group.

I have read http://drupal.org/node/163567 in great detail, and believe we have followed the configuration precisely. Is there a step that may be missing?

Thanks,

EDIT: Okay, so I had the configuration a little messed up. We had the User assigned to be "President" at the site wide role level, and everything was functioning as expected. Attempted to fix by removing the site level role, and applying it at group level. Now the configure member roles button is not appearing for the group that he is president of.

EDIT 2: Installed a patch, got the button to display properly for the group "President" and not display when he is not president. However, when I click on the link as the President I get a website error and an "access denied" in the error log.

EDIT 3: My temporary solution ... I found that when I reviewed the og_user_roles.module, that it frequently places calls to user_access core function, however it doesn't seem to carry the context of the group, only the user from a site wide prospective. Therefore, I changed the call to user_access to my own variant. I'm NOT recommending this, but it's working for me.

Not sure whether 1.5 had such a feature, but 4.x is using Drupal's regular user roles, and the permissions of regular user roles are _always_ additive. You cannot subtract a permission.

Sorry, wasn't clear from the follow-ups. Since you created this issue in the first place, this means that @ScottBaetz should create a separate issue for his bug report for 1.5.

4.x has been entirely rewritten and many features of the old 1.x are no longer contained. It is only doing what it is supposed to do now, in a different and very low-level way.

Could you double-check whether your issue still exists with the new 4.1 release?

I suspect the issue has been resolved.

Sorry, without further information this issue can only be marked as won't fix.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you want to provide further information. Thanks.
