Topic-icon Articles for registered users are being accessed by non-registered

Active Subscriptions:

None
I'm using joomla 3.6 with SCLogin installed. My problem is, when a visitor clicks through to an article that is for registered users only, instead of getting a message along the lines 'You need to be registered to view this area', they actually get access to he article. I am scratching my head on this, any help would be appreciated.

Is this behavior only when SCLogin is enabled? Could you try disabling our module and using the standard Joomla login module (mod_login) to see if this behavior still persists?

In addition to the article being registered, could you verify that any menu items pointing at the article have the proper access type too? Generally, the type of issue you describe is a permissions issue with either:
* The user permissions are higher than you thought
* The menu item permissions for that article are lower than you thought
* The article permissions are lower than you thought

The SCLogin module doesn't set any permissions for the users that log in, so our module likely isn't the cause at all. Hopefully the above helps you diagnose things.

Thanks,
Melissa
