Plugin Parameters

There are two plug-in parameters for Access Content:

1. Default/Added Parameters

Set the default parameters of the Access Content when not defined. If defined this string will be added to the Content Access Tag. For example: Super Users,debug=Super Users to add the Super Users Group to all Content Access Objects.

2. Debug Users

Defines if users should be displayed in the debugger. This might be bad for the performance, by lots of users when debugging.
