Multiple Start Nodes

ADVISORY

Umbraco 7.7+ now support multiple start nodes. It is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of Umbraco rather than relying on this package. Note: Umbraco 7.7+ does NOT yet support seperate start nodes for pickers. If that is a feature you would like please vote for it at http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10147.

This package gives you the ability to set multiple content/media start nodes for users.

Note: This package is still in development and has not been tested on a production site. Use at your own risk.

What it does

• Limits the main content/media trees to specific start nodes
• Removes inaccessible nodes from back-office search results
• Removes inaccessible ancestors from breadcrumbs
• Removes Create, Sort, and Republish entire site from the root nodes for non-admins
• Hides or disables upload buttons and dropzones in the media picker and list view when a user is in a folder they do not have access to
• Prevents users from accessing a node they shouldn't have access to (if they somehow knew the node id)
• Optionally limits pickers to the user's start nodes
• Optionally removes the copy, move, and delete actions on the user's start nodes

Configurations

Package configurations are available in Config/MultipleStartNodes.config.

• LimitPickersToStartNodes Determines whether or not users should be able to pick content/media nodes that are outside of their start node trees. Setting to false will allow all users to pick any content/media node on the site. Default: true.
• RemoveActionsForStartNodes Right-click context menu actions to remove on start nodes. The default prevents editors from copying, moving, or deleteing their start node. Default: copy,move,delete.
