[Typo3] TSConfig: change BE usergroup on the fly

[Tyler Kraft]

Two things:

1) her rights are assigned before the page tsconf is looked at, so 
trying to set this in the page tsconfig has no effect.  I could be wrong 
but I also dont think you can use conditionals in page tsconfigs.

2)  tsconfig clearly states that you can not use conditionals in user or 
group tsconfig settigns as they will have no effect.

AFAIK you can only use conditionals in the template setup config.

So both methods you have tried don't work for you.

BUT  Mr Bernard Kraft has written an extesnion that allows you to use 
conditionals in page, user and group tsconfig.  I believe there were a 
few little problems with it that I found and he fixed but that was ages 
ago.  The down side is that it wont allow user or group setups to be 
cached when you log in (if I remember correctly).  Give it a try and see 
what happens, and there is a good manual for it that explains the 
extension fairly well.
