I wonder if there is an error in the component or if there is something I do wrong. When I create a testgroup of type APPROVAL I figure users must be approved by moderator/owner before users can post in this group. Users have to be approved before joining the group and nobody can post in this group before the have joined (through approval). The problem is that when I create a testuser at security level REGISTERED that testuser is able to post in the group testgroup before testuser is approved.

Kunena is configured so that CB handles security and both is integrated with oneanother in their settings. Here is something strange: In Kunena the categories created by groupjive reads [ACCESS CommunityBuilder: 0] but categories created within Kunena reads [ACCESS Registered]. I find it strange that testuser (not moderator in Kunena) is able to post in testgroup through frontend of Kunena forum and I'm having a hard time finding out where I'm going wrong in configuring the security.

My CB version is 1.7.1, GJ version is 2.4 and Kunena version is 1.7.2. The testuser is able to post through Kunena forum panel but not through GJ panel so I guess the problem is Kunena. Any ideas on how to solve the security issue? Are there any plugins that need to be installed to solve this security issue?

PS: Testuser is not a moderator in Kunena. In Kunena all integration configuration options are set to CommunityBuilder. In CB testuser is set up as registered only. GJ testgroup is set up as type OPEN and group access is set up as REGISTERED. Testuser has not yet joined testgroup and cannot post in testgroup through GJ panel.

perhaps you don't know, there are updates: CB 1.8, GJ2.5. Perhaps you update first and look, if the problem persists, and then it's possible to talk about. If not the moderators have to speak about a lot of versions! Like that they have enough time to progress.

I believe you are right, sir. It seems upgrading solves the problem.

I hope so!
