How do I make a Content Type inherit the permissions of the category it is in?

Example:
I have 2 categories. In A the user is not allowed to edit, in B his is allowed.
I have a content type X and an article of that content type X.
Depending on the category the article is in, the permissions of the category should be applied. Which is the way native Joomla content works.

In Joomla the articles inherit the permissions from the category, not so in SEBLOD. How do I make SEBLOD behave like native Joomla?

cheers

Hi Carin,

Are you sure this is the native behavior of Joomla? I am not sure that it is...?

Hi James, yes I am sure. I just talked to Mark Dexter who was involved coding the permissions. There is also an article from Andrew Eddie explaining exactly that you have four Levels of Permissions Management:

Can anyone confirm that this is a bug in SEBLOD so I can file a report?

I just realised that permissions and inherritance dont work at all in SEBLOD. The only thing that works is setting permissions on the content type. But that's about it. You cannot even set permissions on the article level not to mention categories although the permissions tab is there. Im going to file a bug report.
