    Content Editor Restrictions

    Hi All

    I want to restrict access to certain parts of my site to content editors, which I have done in the User section. But I also want my content editor to be able to create a news page, which is under the homepage, my problem is all the other options show up...

    enter image description here

    How do I hide the other options?

    Thanks. Tony

    Hi Tony,

    So you want to restrict allowed node types under the home node depends on member role ? Or for all members ?

    Thanks

    Hi Alex

    The screenshot is my content editor logged in and we need her to 'create an item under homepage' called 'News'. I don't want her to get the full list like shown, she could do serious damage!!

    Thanks. Tony

    Tony, little bit similar functionality has package:

    https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/attackmonkey-custom-menus

    But I'm afraid that you have to write this logic by yourself.

    Some information about your problem - https://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/10587-User-permissions-on-Document-Types

    Thanks

    Hi Tony,

    It is not possible to have different allow node document types for different user types.

    http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/document-types/allowed-child-nodetypes/

    But I think that you should make a feature request for this on the issue tracker http://issues.umbraco.org/issues/U4

    Here is some documentation about how to write a good bug / feature request

    https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/report-an-issue-or-request-a-feature/

    And please add the link to the issue so other that comes across this can see it too.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Workaround! Woo Hoo!

    What I have done is added another layer. So I've set up a NewsPage document type. A NewsPage page is created under the homepage. Under the NewsPage I have another page of document type: News. All the news stories are of document type News. The content editor starts node in content on the NewsPage, thereby hiding the pages on the same level - if that makes sense. The content editor can create and edit News pages which are kept under NewsPage.

    I wouldn't mind I came across this last year and that got me out then too! I had a huge intranet then and each content editor had their own section, there were four or five I think! It worked a treat then too! :)
