Steps to reproduce the issue
-
Joomla 3. current staging with testing sample data.
-
Backend: Go to
Content>Options>Permissions. -
Disallow anything for groups
Author,Editor,Publisher. -
Create a new user in group
Administratoronly. -
Open front-end and try to edit an article there => Success.
-
Backend: Add second group to user above:
Editor. -
Open front-end and try to edit an article there => Not allowed.
For me that's weird bahavior. Or is it expected that a second group can remove rights from another?

No time.
I think it is correct behavior. Although the new user is a member of Administrator group, he/she has no explicit right to edit. But my understanding can be wrong, of course.
I wasn't aware that one additional group can block the rights of another group that has these rights. Both are in another tree. More irritating than logical for me.
I asked for another guy. I personally don't care ;-)
com_content options:
Edit article in front-end:
-
User only in Administrator group: Can edit.
-
Add second group (with limited rights like shown above in image 2) in user profile: Cannot edit.
-
Remove second group in user profile: Can edit.
From my point of view it's not logical ;-) when I compare it with other systems like mediawiki, typo3, Magento...
As I've said already it's OK for me to know it now.
I think I can't follow you do you have some screenshots?
