Users and permissions
Permalink
Hi Guys, I have searched the forums and can't really see anything that helps me get to where I want to get.
Basically I want to create another type of admin that will only be able to do certain things when logged in, I will call this an editor and i basically my client. For example I don't want them to be able to add blocks or edit the Header Nav and Logo area. I do want them to be able to add blocks, delete blocks and edit blocks in the main section (content) of the page but don't want them to be set permissions or create custom templates etc. Basically on every page only be able to delete, create new block and the basic design link in the edit menu, I may even go as far as to say that I only want a certain amount of blocks to be able to be added by them, Until me the "super admin" allows it.
I have created a user group called "editor" and added a user to that group but this is where i am at a loss, I can see the permissions menu where I can select things that they can and can't do but it isn't nearly as detailed as I was hoping. In Drupal (which i spent 2 days looking at) I was able to easily create a user that can only edit and publish, Is this available in concrete5?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Ian

Thank you for the reply, I shall watch the video now. I did think about hard coding the logo and menu but couldn't get the logo JPG to show so started fiddling with more fun stuff XD. I will try it again. Thanks again prepare to hear from me :)
If you have the logo in your themes folder you can include it with (if the logo is in 'your_theme/img':
To hardcode the menu you can see all options and examples here: http://c5blog.jordanlev.com/blog/2012/04/hard-coded-autonav-options...
<img src="<?php echo $this->getThemePath(); ?>/img/logo.png" />

First of all you should enable Advanced Permissions to get all the goodies.
After that you should see this video (unfortunately the sound is a bit off): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ac7Z3x2R...
You should also consider hardcoding in the logo and header to reduce the number of areas to set permissions to.
If you, after watching the video and tested some stuff out, still need assistance, then post a follow up question in this thread and I (or someone else) will help you out.
