jDownloads does not follow user group settings

Hi, I have a user group created in Joomla called GroupA and I granted in the Global Configuration permissions Create, Edit, Edit State, Edit own and Download to this group in jDownloads. By inheritance this group received the same permissions in the jDownloads categories.

Afterwards, I have prepared the settings for this group in jDownloads User Groups Settings and include other file type extensions.

I created a user and included only the GroupA permission I logged into the Front End and it seemed all right, I could edit the categories of downloads and upload them. Then I realized that in the file upload the extra extensions for file types that I configured did not appear and also did not appear the settings of the data fields that I selected.

I did a test going on the jDownloads User Group Settings and including other extensions for file types in the public group, and to my surprise it appeared in the Front End.

What is happening if I have set up my user in Joomla just to belong to GrupoA? It is not in any other group, besides I configured all necessary permissions in jDownloads.

Can you help me with one more little problem?

Hi
It sounds to me that maybe you did not set the Ranking value in for GroupA in the Users Groups Settings. I usually use a ranking value of 123
