SimpleACL for Joomla! is a simple Access Control List component that helps to restrict front-end access to particular sections. ACLs can be created for individual users or for a whole Joomla group (registered, author, editor, publisher or manager). You can specify what actions (insert, read, update) a user (or a Joomla group) can do on the articles belonging to a Joomla section
