    Using a staging environment as the only point of content entry.

    Hi All,

    My organization is tossing around the idea of using our staging environment for content entry (by the business users) and moving everything to production daily with courier, at the same time disallowing production login for regular users (haven't worked out how this will happen yet). 

    My question is, has anyone done a setup like this successfully?  Can anyone think of any issues or roadblocks with this sort of setup?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    current version of courier does not handle macros,datatypes latest version however does.  You can stop production login by removing everything in the umbraco directory except for webservices folder,imagegen (if installed ) and webservice.asmx

    Thanks.

    That sounds like a solid option.  What I might do as an alternative is add some code so that the login can only be accessed internally.  There's some worry about a public-facing CMS login.  I assume that Umbraco's login is pretty solid, but this at least takes any risk out of the equation.

    no need for code you could in iis set range of ips that have access to /umbraco directory.
