User Permissions
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Just installed Concrete5 and I'm working out how to do things. I've discovered the permissions settings, and how to turn on advanced permissions and I think I know how it works. I can create permissions for groups, easy enough, but can you set permissions for individual users? For instance, can I create a page that I can allow an individual user to edit but all other can only read?
What I'm trying to do is, in effect, give people their own chunk of website they can edit as they please.

Yes you can add permissions for specific users. Just open up the permission dialogue and hit 'Add user' as in my attached screenshot.
Thanks for your answer, that was helpful.
Unfortunately, as good as Concrete is, I don't think it is the application that will fit my needs.

Hey ada, where do you actually find this dialogue box? I remember looking at a How-To (explained on an old version of C5) but I can't find where you get this one to come up? I've searched all the Dashboard and the Pages too... How did I miss it?
You need to turn on advanced permissions first and after that just hit 'Set Permissions' on the page in question.
Add this to your 'config/site.php' to enable advanced permissions
Then have a look at these how-tos:
