title: Joomla ACL: Only allow access to custom component in the backend?
body: <p>I'm building a component for the backend.  I don't want the users who will access it to access ANYTHING else in the backend except for this component.  </p>
  
  <p>I tried following these two instructions:</p>

  <p>I made a new User Group with a parent of public and allow admin login (which would lock them out of everything) and then tried adding the ACL code from those links above with permissions to create and edit but I just get a blank screen (not even a logout link).  The "Debug Permissions Report" showed the correct permissions but nothing's showing up.  </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  My next step is to manually go through every component and not allow access to that new User Group but it seems like there's an easier way.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
