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...

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:

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

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! :)
