    I have different products.

    I have different groups.

    I need to assign different products to different groups so that one product client does not have access to the default group's products.

    This was doable in V3, but in V4 it seems that the top group on the list of groups is auto assigned to every purchaser.

    Am I missing something, or did this change?

    Maybe this will help explain it a little better.

    First, Active Resources links and phpBB group issues are completly unrelated.
    1. aMember get links which you see in Active Resources block from aMember CP -> Protect Content -> Folders, Files, Links, Videos.
    You should check all above scripts and search for resource with have "Full Form Access" name. Then edit that resource and make sure that it will be available only when user purchase product which grant full form access.

    2. Groups permissions issue.
    Check Integration settings in amember CP -> Protect Content -> Integrations
    You should create separate record for each different group of users (depends on purchased product).
    On integration settings screen you can define what group user get in phpBb when purchase each product in amember.
    Right now I believe you have only one setting for all products and that setting allow full access to the forum.

    You can see in the shot below what should be available to view in the active resources is only "Redirection Profits".

    "Full Forum Access" is not listed in Products with access.

    I double checked after rebuilding database tables and the "Full Forum Access" is till visible to this group that should only have access to "Redirection Profits".

    As you can see in the shot below, there is a group for Redirection Profits customers on the integration tab.

    However, Amember is assigning each buyer to "REGISTERED" group (see this group at the red arrow), rather than a group of my choosing, even though "Redirection Profits" is not a product available for that group.

    So, if amember is going to automatically choose the group at the top of the list, I can not control what buyer is assigned to what group.

    If I am missing something, feel free to document the steps of setting products and groups up so that is works, because at this point, I can not seem to figure it.

    What aMember version have you running?

    Starting from 4.2.15 there is an ability to sort groups by priority at aMember CP -> Setup -> phpBB

    I have 4.2.13 installed.

    I do have the ability to sort groups by priority.

    I DO NOT have the ability to sort groups BY PRODUCT.

    Amember is automatically assigning groups according to priority.

    I need to assign a group automatically by product purchased.

    In V3, there was a setting that said (paraphrasing):

    "Anyone with [this] subscription, also has access to [this] phpbb level."

    This seems to be missing in V4.

    It is not missing. It is just moved to aMember CP -> Protect Content -> Integrations.
    However, if several levels are available for user, aMember does not know what one to
    choose, and it just chooses first match.

    In 4.2.14 (not .15, forgot about) we have implemented ability to sort groups by
    priority so aMember will choose phpBB group with higher priority if several
    are available.

    I found it.

    ...amember/default/admin-content/p/links/

    When configured manually, this works.

    However, I am wondering why it is not part of the product setup page.

    Some more detail on these steps in the documentation would be appreciated.

    I am going to double check that this is not in the docs nor the sales page and will report back.

    Sorry, what exactly works ? On the Links page you may only define links to be visible for members with certain product access.
    It does not affect phpBB integration in any kind, nor does it setup protection for the links.

    Sorry, I did not carefully review this image.

    Please REMOVE rows without product conditions, like "Adsense Power House" and similar.

    But that still does not solve the issue.

    Different products can have different levels of access to other products (in this case, I want all "Redirection Profits" clients to see only certain parts of the forum based on Group Permissions).

    So I am still stumped here.

    No, it does not affect phpbb integration, but it did remove the full forum access to the forum.

    Alex, those things have nothing to do with Full Forum Access nor Redirection Profits, so I am unsure how this will help my issue.

    In your screenshot, you have "Category Any product" assigned to group Registered. So if you don't want to add group registered to users who purchase redirection profits product, just edit your registered group's products and remove "Any Product" from the list.
    Also to avoid any misunderstanding, just create seperate integration line for each product, and this will work exactly the same way as that was in aMember v3.

    That is what I did after the original test.

    I then rebuilt the databases, but the settings did not work.

    I planned ot test this with a new product set up yesterday but got busy.

    I will revisit this tomorrow and report what I find.
