Ok, maybe i'm going daft, maybe i'm not, but i'm having an issue which I can't resolve.

I have to usergroups for users:

Registered users
Registered users 1

When a user gets 50 posts they are automatically moved to users 1 as their primary user group.

My issue is that basically users in user 1 can not use the bank, it is giving the permission denied message, yet they can use the other store functions, such as thief, donate, etc.

Is there somewhere that I have to set up extra usergroup permissions or something like that?

Why do you have them going to group 1 as a primary group, and not a secondary group?

I have several other integrated parts of the website which don't understand what secondary usergroups are, so it makes it a sight easier to have them completely seperate.

Why not add the default registered usergroup as a secondary then? ;)

Check the permissions of the bank action (Action Manager -> Bank -> Edit).

Ah ha, that's what I was after, thanks a lot, I thought it might be a simple oversight. :)

I guess keeping the usergroups seperate has always seemed the simplest approach to me, I might have to have a play around with secondar usergroups though and see if I can make things a bit simpler... :)

uShop was originally designed on the assumption that all groups the should have access would be in one of the 4 primary usergroups (registered, mods, super mods, and admins). However, since that is not the case for everyone, I have implemented a "default" for allowed and denied usergroups, so you can just set one default and it would affect all actions the are set to use the default. I figure that is the best way to allow easy changing of permissions while still offering flexibility.
