Access levels on study / serie: multiple selection is not available about proclaim

[tomfuller2]

We currently use the fieldtype accesslevel in admin/models/forms/message.xml.

This is the same fieldtype as used in Joomla 2.5's com_content: See here from article.xml:

This fieldtype will not accept multiple="true" so we cannot at this time do this unless we use a custom field.

Com_content uses it the same way we do - just one access level.

Admins can assign users to more than one group so that can solve this.

Where do you see multiple access levels used in a Joomla component?

Maybe I don't understand the access levels thoroughly. My setup looks like this: I have additional access level 'members of the church' and friends of the church'. Obviously, friends should not see everything, that can be accessed by members, but members may access everything. On the other hand, there may be content, that is not of interest for members, so this parts may be hidden. In short words: Some of the content can be accessed by members only, other content by friends only and some other content by both (but not by the public guest).

Perhaps this tutorial will help: http://docs.joomla.org/Access_Control_List/2.5/Tutorial#Controlling_What_Users_Can_See

It makes sense to be able to have content available to multiple groups, but I'm just seeing that Joomla CMS allows us to do that. Since they don't accept multiple select.
