Is hard coding permissions possible?
Permalink
Hi all!
I'd like implement Concrete5 on to all our websites; currently around 500+ sites. I'll be setting up the templates for them so my question is: what is the possibility of hard coding permissions on to a template itself? Basically I want to be able to upload my template folder and have it preset with things a client can do with the site without having to tinker with advanced permissions for each of the 500+ installations.
Thanks for your help guys.

I was thinking things like, which blocks they can add on an area by area basis eg: I'd only want them to be able to add an image or a slideshow to the hero photo on their website.
I think we can do a global installation and setup the permissions for disabling things like adding pages etc. We're trying to lock it down quite tightly, but was hoping to work out the fastest way to manage permissions on existing / upcoming websites.

What you need is a starting point.
They allow you to customize the default concrete5 install, so you could enable advanced permissions and set up the page defaults and use that starting point for all your sites.

Once I have my starting point for the "global permissions", does such code exist where I can further set the permissions on a specific area within the template itself? Simply because every web site is different I'd need to be able to define which blocks are allowed to go in the areas I've setup. Was hoping I could skip the whole manual permissions process and hard code this if possible. :)
At the moment, no.
Hmmm, okay thanks for your help. Do you think this sort of thing would be difficult to have developed?
I am not really sure, I would have to dig through all the area code to see what its actually doing, it could be simple, or it could be a pain in the ass.
Ah k, no worries - thanks for your help. I wonder if anyone else has looked in to this.
What types of things are you going to want to restrict?
