Need help trying to figure out the following permissions structure
Permalink
Hello,
I a having a hard time visualizing how to do the following and can find all of the bits and pieces of info but can not seem to put them together in a way that works.
(My sitehttp://www.multitrunk.net gives the ability for dealers to sign up on the site and part of this is that they can edit their own dealer page)
Here is what I want to do,
On the dealers page that they can edit I want them to be able to do the following...
- Add a layout
- Add WYSIWYG content block
- Add a Formigo Container block type (A content block that gives extra options to make a simple header and outline layout)
- Do the same for maybe 3 or 4 more block types
What I wind up with is that a user can add blocks or a layout to the main content area of the page they have permissions for...
-however-
I run into two problems...
1) They can add ALL blocks and I can not figure out a way to add a group of blocks adding permissions for a certain group of users.
2) If they add a layout they do not have permissions to add blocks to the layout they just created. (I did see a post on this but it made no sense to me at all as to what they were saying the solution was)
And since I have not gotten this to work yet, if there is a way to add just a few blocks permissions to a group and then assign the user permissions to that content area but just pull the group permissions for the block types so only that user can add the blocks but that user has access to all of the blocks for that group with select blocks permissions. (I hope that was not as painful to read as it was to try to get into words)
I am so close to having all of the permissions done on the site, which for me, was very complex. I have been using Concrete for a couple of years but just building basic stuff so this crazy permissions scheme is new ground for me.
Please let me know what info I need to give you about the site to help, and I am using advanced permissions.
If anyone does decide to help, thank you for your time :)
Also, if I am not making sense please bear with me, I was in a bad car wreck and they have me on all kinds of crap that makes me loopy, and that is definitely not helping me to figure out this permissions scenario :/

Hi, did you try to enabled avanced permissions, then in the dashboard is a section for block permissions, you can assign a group and which blocks they are enabled to use
Hi,
Thank you for the response.
I feel so dumb that I missed this! I thought this was general add a block permissions for all blocks, I missed the Details->Custom section. Thank you that does fix that part of it, is there an easy way to have a layout added by a user automatically have block add permissions too for that user?

Hello again, i'm not sure if i understand, english it's not my first lenguage, but i'm making a site right now with hundred of users and i see 2 options in your case, if you have a lot of attributes that users need to complete you can make an stack with the blocks that you need inside, inside the blocks you can do the basic layout calling user attributes,like this i think you win design structure, then you can check for the stack permisions of a group,check if the user can edit, or nothing of this, the user complete a form with all the questions and you have all the info to auto complete the layout, well i'm not sure if this can help you, but for example you can make attributes with text type to use later for css classes, and the rest, maybe is more easy for clients and for you.Hope this idea help you in something.
