Customize Editing Bar

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I have a repeated need for client sites.

I want them to usually have access to a few things:
The Pages (sitemap)
The Bulk SEO Tool
Clear Cache
File Manager

The rest they don't need access to...
Is there a way to just toggle what I want to show on that bar so its automatically public to the editors?

Just a really good idea... please... purdy please.

Thanks!
K.

I think a lot of us have the same need... good news is you can do this easily.

If you work like I do, then you'll have superuser access to the site: you'll give your client 'administrator' access.

You can set permissions on what can be viewed and edited on every page in the dashboard, including system pages. This means you can restrict what your client sees when they login with their administrator privileges.

Hope that helps

Hi Ollie,
Yeah...its exactly how I do things too. But going into each page is a bit redundant... especially on large sites.

Thanks for the answer. But I'm thinking along the lines of viewing a page list, and just ticking the pages/section you want your editor to have rights to.

Sort of like the bulk seo tool, only with a page list.

I am thinking I would like to be able to define the user group... then just go on down the line with which user group can acccess which pages. The group would define the rights. The "tick" would assign it.

I can see your point if you are talking about front end pages rather than dashboard pages (large site?)

For me the routine is invariably just about locking down dashboard pages that I don't want the Administrator to be able to use.

One very effective way of doing this is to install a basic package. That package has an install method which includes code like this:

## Set permissions on Concrete5 pages, hide from administrators
$pxml->administrators['canRead'] = 0;
$composerPermissions = page::getByPath('/dashboard/composer');
$composerPermissions->assignPermissionSet($pxml);


That above code will hide the composer in the dashboard from users in the Administrator group.

The same package can have an uninstall method that reverts this.

Hope that helps.

I have a site I am putting into concrete5, 80+ pages and growing. I just finished one with over 50. Although I am giving access to only the front end pages, the file manager, and sitemap (using the addon for the front end toolbar), so that is a little less intense then. (sorry Minnesota accent, can't help it)

The 80+ page site will need access to some but not all of the system pages. Bulk SEO tool being one of them as well. So I guess this would be more in reference to the dashboard stuff than the front end pages.

Thanks for the script... as soon as I figure out just what to do with that, I'm on it. :P Really, its early here... I've been working til 2am every night... and my brain is not engaging. I am gonna play with that script for sure.

You're awesome. Thanks for stickin' with me and the patience.
