if you turn advanced permissions on, you can set folks to have just the ability to change, not add stuff.

how do i go about turning on the advance permissions?

I've added the code to the proper file... Now what do I do to make it so that a new user only can change content?

You need to have a "new user" enter a group that is specified from your admin account, when you turn on advanced permissions, you get 3, Guest, Registered User, and Adminstrators. You also get the pirate/ninja/chuck norris superadmin, but this doesn't matter aside from setting "global permissions".

Anyways, you go to your page that you want people that are new, (Registered Users?) and allow them to read, write, maybe versions but probably not.

Mess around with that either at the page level or the page type level, depending on how you want to roll with this and the scope.

To be honest, I haven't messed around with this a whole lot, but hey I tried :)

I've turned on advanced permissions and I can't seem to find the 3 different forms of users Guest, Registered User, and Administer. Why don't I have this option? Did I do something wrong?

button, if it is there. That will allow you to set up permissions based on groups for a page (rather inherit from pagetype, but whatever floats your boat) for any group you have specified from the superadmin through the dashboard group tab/page.

I haven't played with this for at least a month since everyone is fine with simple permissions, so this may have changed

I don't think I set up advanced permission right, I went to config/site.php and added <?php define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced'); ?> to the page. But for some reason I don't see a permissions tab. Am I missing a step?

Thanks for helping out... This does seem as difficult but I tend to have bad luck sometimes.

I figured it out... sorry for my ditzyness...
