Access Granted is a Joomla! component for custom user levels and groups

Using Access Granted (AG), you can define the access level a user needs to access in the Joomla Frontend and Backend for:

a menu item (using the Joomla standard menu system)
a component, a module, a mambot
content icons (Print | PDF | Email)
frontend editing
a section, a category, a content item

This article is a follow-up of the previous one: ACL hacks for Joomla! (opens new browser window), and this component looks like a very nice and still affordable way to solve this problem.

Considering the possibilities offered by this component, the easy management of access rights and setup of custom groups it allows, and the super-easy install, the current price for a single site: $97.85 (including 3 % tax) seems VERY reasonable!

AG contains a very powerfull user management system, with handy filters to make user selections based on diverse criteria. The user management also contains simple but missed tools, like resending emails with passwords to users.

The great thing for such a powerfull component is that you can test all the functionality live on the demo setup!
Use demo / demo to login; the component is the very first one in the component menu..

Great site! love it and your articles...
Question:
Is AG 2.0 a "core-hack" or a clean "add-on", which works with any other component.
Is completely removed, when i un-install it?

TIA!

Just to let you know that I paid ($97) to get AG 2.0 two months ago and have received nothing. Tried to email the author and got no reply.
As a current JAL customer am very dissappointed. It looks like I'll have to rip out JAL and completely rewrite using JACL as this does not seem to be a reliable component to have in the heart if a production site.
