trying to work out access filters on DW

[tielan]

Anyone got suggestions for where to look?

I think the access filters were imported across when I brought my LJ over the first time. Only I don't now know if the filters I'm looking at here are the LJ ones or the DW ones.

And if I make a post to LJ from DW via crosspost functionality, does it take the specific names on the filter and allow access to them on LJ, or just the filter name itself?

eg. I have a filter "friends1" on both DW and LJ.

On LJ, the filter "friends1" has: alli, sue, jo, rob, amy, andrea, val, and bec.
On DW, the filter "friends1" has: sue, jackie, helen, andrea, val, and simon.

If I make a post on DW under the filter "friends1" and cross-post to LJ with the tickybox crossposting, will LJ permit the entire LJ filter "friends1" to view the post, or just sue, andrea, and val (who are both on the LJ "friends1" filter and the DW "friends1" filter).

I looked through the FAQ which doesn't seem to answer at this level - just the basics of what an access filter is.

Yes. That one.

I have two "secure" filters, one on DW and one on LJ, and posting to that filter on DW posts to the one on LJ.

Excellent! Thanks for the tip!
