Administration of civiCRM in Joomla?

What's the best way to give full (or even limited rights) over CiviCRM, without giving extended rights over the Joomla backend? What's the advantage of having CiviCRM inside Joomla, compared to the standalone version?

With Joomla 1.6 and Civicrm 4.0 you can use ACLs to restrict access in both civi and Joomla in quite a flexible way I believe.

In 1.5 you could give people manager access which restricts some higher level admin functions in Joomla but still allows people to generate menu items and website content to their newletter sign up profiles etc.. no ACL within civi running 3.4 on Joomla 1.5 though - but your profile says 1.6 so you should be able to utilise the full ACL approach in both the CMS and civi.

Sorry not to be more help but I'm only experimenting with 1.6 at the moment.

PS - see other topics for the 'why have the CMS' question as I'm sure others have covered this ground.

1. I believe that there is no standalone version of CiviCRM now, as it was discontinued, so if you want the current version of CiviCRM it has to be inside either Joomla or Drupal (Wordpress on the cards, I believe).
2. For Civi within Joomla generally end users can interact with Civi via profiles. Within 1.6, where you have ACL, you can have searchable profiles which may be of use to certain semi-admin groups which are only accessible by them.
3. Within 1.6 generally you could set up Joomla so that CiviCRM is about the only thing in the back end that junior-administrators can access, and within Civi there are a range of further access controls so that they can only see parts of the civi system. Given that the range of permissions is so wide, I'm not sure how to answer the question in more detail.
