User Management / Advanced Permissions
Permalink
Hi,
I've found the process of building a c5 site relatively painless, until that is I needed user management and advanced permissions.
I'm building a site for an end user, someone who won't understand the implications and pitfalls of full admin rights, so therefore I want to limit what they can do when logged in.
With this in mind what I want to achieve is to lock certain areas of the template (the Main Nav area for example) so that the user can't edit or delete any blocks in that area.
How do I do that?
This is how far I've got at present:
1/
Added a new user to the site but didn't afford them admin privileges.
2/
Put the site into advanced permissions mode by adding
to the site.php file
Now if I log in as this new user I don't get any kind of editing rights; no editing bar, no access to the dashboard - nothing. It just leaves me back at the home page as if I hadn't tried logging in at all.
I know I logged in successfully however because if I then log in as admin I can see in the Users and Groups section that the new user logged in.
HELP!!
I've read various posts about what a thorny subject this is, but been unable to glean enough from them to help me solve my problem.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
It's greatly appreciated.
Tony.
