Permissions

The Joomla permission settings control access to the different actions for each user group. For more information on how these permissions work, see the Joomla docs: Access Control List Tutorial: Component Options & Permissions.
Conditions Component
Advanced Module Manager also installs the Regular Labs - Conditions manager component, which stores all the Conditions you connect to modules or other Regular Labs extensions.
From the Conditions component view, in the toolbar on the right, you will see the "Options" button. When you click on that, you will be directed to its Global Configuration options.
Options
| Enable Categories | Enable to use categories and show the category column in the list view. |

| Events To Log | Select the actions to include in the User Actions Log. |
Active Rule Types
When navigating to the Global Configuration Options for the Conditions component, you find an "Active Rule Types" setting that gives you the ability to disable any rule types for the Condition edit screen.
You can switch off any rules you don't plan to use for your modules or in any other Regular Labs extensions that use Conditions.
This gives you control to have the Condition edit screen only show the rules you need, improving clarity and page load speed.
Permissions
The Joomla permission settings control access to the different actions for each user group. For more information on how these permissions work, see the Joomla docs: Access Control List Tutorial: Component Options & Permissions.
