I think the Content template-feature is a real nice addition for editors. They can easily create a template when working with their content. However to be able to modify a content template they created the editor must have access to the "Settings" section which makes little sense to me. I don't want editors of content to have that kind of permissions.
Hi everybody, did you ever managed to have the content Templates in another section without giving editors access to the settings-section? I've got a 7.15.7 installation with the content templates in a newly created sections. Users have access to content, media and the newly created contentTemplate-section. It works well if they edit contentTemplates and if they create a contentTemplate based on an existing node in the content-section. But if they go to the contentTemplate-Section and click on createContentTemplate it doesn't work. For users with access to the settings-section everything works without problems.
Thanks a lot. Regards, Nora
Why is content template editor under Settings?
Hi.
I think the Content template-feature is a real nice addition for editors. They can easily create a template when working with their content. However to be able to modify a content template they created the editor must have access to the "Settings" section which makes little sense to me. I don't want editors of content to have that kind of permissions.
I agree with this, editors should be able to edit or delete content templates without the need for access to "Settings".
Totally agree, this should really be moved.
From the Source i can see that it does not require setting access. https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/5bfab13dc5a268714aad2426a2b68ab5561a6407/src/Umbraco.Web.BackOffice/Trees/ContentBlueprintTreeController.cs
I just testet in 7.15.5 - If changing the application value from settings to content on the contentBlueprints in the trees.config. A editor can edit the content templates. https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/92610-move-dictionary-out-of-settings-section
How to move content template ( blueprints ) into content in Umbraco 8
Umbraco 8+ quickHack until i find a way to move the content template editor.
1 ) Create a item based on a template, in the url find the blueprintId and copy the ID eg. 1159
2) /umbraco#/content/contentBlueprints/edit/1159
As the content template system i protected by content editor rights. A editor can access the editor this way.
