Advanced Permissions Edit Page Only
Permalink
I enabled advanced permissions and it seems to be working well on my site. The only thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to remove the "Properties" and "Move/Delete" tabs from the edit menu at the top of the screen.
The only tab I want them to see is the "Edit" tab. I want to restrict users to only be able to edit content on specific pages. I don't want them to have access to have of the "inner workings" of C5 on my site.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the response. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the "Main" part of my website. I couldn't find that anywhere in the dashboard or on the site.
I did find out that I can limit access to site folders from the dashboard, so that's gotten most of the way there. However, I still haven't been able to limit permissions to editing content alone.

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I see the "main" and "add to main". So I tried setting permission on the individual sections to allow for editing, but restricting it on the page.
It doesn't seem to work. Unless, you allow the user to edit a page, they won't be able to edit any content on the page, regardless of the permissions for the sections. At least that's what I'm seeing.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Seems that way... I have now tested it myself and came to the same conclusion. I suppose you should be able to solve this with custom attributes and some php code checking those attributes, but that is over my head.
Have you tried "restricting" blocks on a page from being edited with advanced permissions for a particular user instead of "adding" access? That should allow the page edit toolbar to appear but restrict what areas of the page are edit-accessible per user.
(I think we are attempting the same thing here, I have page editors that I've set block permissions to "read" only)

Thanks. I have restricted access. I think I have it set about as well as I'm going to get it. Advanced permissions allows for creating pretty specific access. I have it set up so some editors can only edit the main content. I'm satisfied where its at now. Although ideally, I'd like to have set up so they even have access to "Help" or "Properties" on the edit bar. Maybe that's not possible without some coding that is over my head.
At least I think that's how it's done, because I haven't tested it myself but after a quick look I think that is the way to go.
