I have created tag having "Super Users" access level and do login at front-side using registered user account.
Give permission to registered user to create and edit own article.
In "Tags" drop-down I can see "Super Users" tag and I can select it.

Hi Ronak, that is exactly the problem.
You should not be able to select a tag with view access Super User, because the registered user does not belong to the group / access level.
I can see you have voted that you do not experience this issue, but to my opnion, you do.

Am I incorrectly describing the issue?

Hi Romkabouter, Where I can see my given vote?

Hello

i think, there is no bug in this behaviour, but maybe i am wrong

• view access level <> create ACL permission

view access level is used

• to decide which tags to show to frontend user
• and but also it is used for listing them in backend (about this behaviour it is another discussion)
• other ?

Look at the categories

• by your logic the view access level should be used for assigning categories to articles, instead of using the create ACL

I am guessing, you could make a feature request for adding: create ACL to the tags ?

• but this would be a little heavy for sites with 2,000 or 20,000 different tags ?

Or you could ask that view access is used for assigning tags, but (i think) this is inconsistent with the purpose of view access

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
I understand your point of view and it could well be a correct behavior.
My point is exactly your point 2 when access level is used.
When a user creates an article, the tag field shows all tags. I believe it should only show the tags to which to user has view access, just like in the frontend for showing the tags.

Using your categories point of view: You can not assign a (new) article to a category you do not have view access to. That category will not be visible in the dropdown.
So why should a user be able to add a tag he/she has no view access to, to a (new) article?
That user cannot view the tag in the frontend when logged in.
There already is ACL on tags, so no problems there.

Thanks

@Romkabouter my opinion is like your. What mean UX, @cpfeifer?

I can confirm in Joomla! 3.7.0-staging
