I am using Umbraco 13 and I was wondering if I could somehow set it up that in a blockgrid editor, users with a writer role could only edit the contents of a block, while admin roles would be able to drag and drop the blocks around as well. I am not able to find a setting that does this unless I am looking in the wrong places. Or should I try tackling this issue differently?
Unfortunately, the permissions system in Umbraco isn't that granular out of the box. I think it would be quite a substantial undertaking to try and tackle this sort of permission behaviour, and would most likely be some very hacky javascript involved to hook into various parts of the Umbraco back office.
In addition, all of this would have to, some how, be re-written if you were to upgrade to v14+ as the entire back office has been redone.
User Roles and Block Grid Editor
Hello all,
I am using Umbraco 13 and I was wondering if I could somehow set it up that in a blockgrid editor, users with a writer role could only edit the contents of a block, while admin roles would be able to drag and drop the blocks around as well. I am not able to find a setting that does this unless I am looking in the wrong places. Or should I try tackling this issue differently?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Rodrigo,
