With Frontend-User-Access you can set frontend access restrictions to:

• menu-items (items in menu + page-access) (pro)
• components
• modules (hide modules when user has no access) (pro)
• articles (specific articles)(hide article when user has no access)
• articles by category (pro)
• articles by section (pro)

You can make as many usergroups as you need and assign users to them. There are 2 predefined usergroups which are very userfull:

• 'not logged in'
• 'logged in but not assigned to any usergroup'

You can configure for each restriction-type (components, categories, sections etc.) to reverse the access, so any box ticked becomes a restriction instead of an access-right.

Frontend-User-Access is NOT A HACK.
