Thanks Luciano,
All normal users are assigned as "students" and they can all see the Chat Room listed on the Front Page but they still can't access the chat function from the Front Page. So I tried a few things. First I went to the "Site Administration" and under the "Front Page Roles" section I went to the "Overrides" section. Then I went to the "Student" role section and under this section turned "Talk in Chat" on under the "Chat" section. Well, this setting still doesn't allow users assigned to the "student" access level to use the Chat function from the Front Page.
OK, I reset the "Student" roles to default and tried the same thing under the "Override" section to the "Authenticated User" role. Still no use. Users logged in at the "Student" access level still can't access the Chat function. They all get this error message:
Sorry, buy you do not currently have permissions to do that (Talk in Chat).
I though that allowing ANY Authenticated user to use the Chat function at the Front Pag level would allow all and any authenticated user access to the Chat function.
Does it sound like I'm missing something here or this is a retriction or error in the code?
Any advice?
