SLiCK_303 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 So I just noticed something I haven't looked at in a looong time. When you goto BO>Customers>Groups then edit a group. Does setting Authorized modules actually do anything? Or is this some ancient leftover code that basically does nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
led24ee Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi. Can somebody tell about this ? I'm interested too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynambee Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Should be possible to test this pretty easily by just setting it up and then seeing if it has any impact on different customer groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
led24ee Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 There is group Visitor and slider (YES/NO) near Cron tasks manager. So visitors are authorized to cron tasks ? What's the point of this ? I have no idea so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this is a feature for customer groups it seems likely it is only going to have an impact on modules that are available to front office users. However it's a feature related to modules so all modules are going to be listed there, even if the setting does nothing for them. For example, maybe you have a product review module that allows customers to review your products. You might only want to make that module's features available to users who are logged in and not to Guests. Does this functionality work? I have no idea at all. I'm just trying to guess the intention of the feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datakick Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 @dynambee is correct. I can just add that this functionality still works correctly. As far as I can tell, there exists 3 restrictions for modules Disable on tablet / Disable on mobile / Disable on computer module preferences can be used to display modules on specific device types only Multistore restriction -- if you have multistore, you can enable module for specific shops only Customer group restriction - the one we are talking about All of these impact list of hooks that are being executed. You can also manually modify this hook list by removing specific hooks that you don't want to be displayed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
