Navigate the Unified QCFUM Frontend Dashboard
QCFUM 2.0.4 uses one unified frontend workspace titled User Manager. It does not show every tab to every user. The available tabs are assembled from the signed-in Joomla account’s QCFUM permissions and, for some workflows, the current Effective tier.
Use the Dashboard as the normal frontend entry point. If a requested tab is not authorized, QCFUM falls back to the first tab the account is actually allowed to use.
Current Dashboard Tabs
| Tab | When it appears | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Users | The account has qcfum.frontend.manage_users. The user-management feature itself remains Max / All Access. | Manage eligible existing Joomla users. |
| Create User | The account has qcfum.frontend.create. | Direct user creation and, when available, Join Code creation. |
| Invitations | The account has qcfum.frontend.invite. | Send Invite Links. A Manage Invites subtab is also shown when tracking permission is available. |
| Import | The account has qcfum.frontend.csv; CSV remains a Pro+ feature. | Preview and commit CSV onboarding. |
| Recent Users | The account has qcfum.frontend.track. | Review recently created users and their onboarding source. |
| Tracker | The account has qcfum.frontend.track. | Review created-user and Invite Link history together. |
| Approval Queue | Approval workflow is available and the account has Administrator access plus qcfum.admin.approvals. | Approve or reject pending QCFUM user, Invite Link, and supported User Manager requests. |
Do Not Treat Visibility as the Only Authorization Check
A visible tab is only the start of the request path. QCFUM rechecks the relevant frontend action, feature/tier availability, selected Profile or Invite Pack, target safeguards, and request state when an action is submitted.
For delegated staff, test the Dashboard while signed in as the exact Joomla group that will use it. Testing only as Super User can hide missing ACL or menu-access problems.
A Safe Navigation Test
- Open the current QCFUM Dashboard menu item while signed in as the intended staff account.
- Confirm only the tabs required for that role are present.
- Open Create User or Invitations and verify the expected Profiles or Invite Packs are available.
- If tracking is allowed, confirm Recent Users and Tracker appear together.
- If a tab is unexpectedly missing, check Joomla menu access, QCFUM frontend ACL, then the current Effective tier and feature configuration.
