Advanced advanced permissions

Permalink
I'd like to limit what functionality a user sees in their edit view. Ideally, I'd like to hide the properties button in the top toolbar & hide extraneous (for these users, anyway) items like Copy to Scrapbook, Move, Design, and Custom Template.

Any ideas on how best to accomplish this?

Have you trying enabling and using advanced permissions?

hi - it's more to do with the actions allowed through contextual menu than specific content blocks or pages

I've done this before by duplicating the core files where these buttons are embedded, editing the file to only show those buttons to the super user and adding the file to the top level to override the core but this has created problems when upgrading versions of C5.

Does anyone know if there's a better way of doing this?

Does anyone know if this question has been answered? I also want to remove the "Properties" link from the edit menu for users. I don't want users to be able to change page paths, attributes, etc.

Thanks for any update on this question.

I'd wait for the new version with the new permissions, if that doesn't solve the problem then there are a few simple mods around TaskPermissions that would accomplish what you want, or at the very least hide the UI from the end users, with very little additional work(depending on how much you want to mess with or override the core) then you could easily block it there too.

Thanks for the response. Any idea about an estimated release date for the new version?
