Composer write page redirects to drafts - permissions?

Permalink
Hi,

When members of certain user groups go to Composer Write and select a page type it's redirecting them to the Drafts page (which says there are no drafts available) instead of the composer entry form. Are there particular permissions I have to allow to let them access this screen?

Thanks,
Ali

I am just setting up a blog that I want my members to add to and had the same problem. I solved it by going into the full sitemap, opening the "options" section at the top right, clicking on "Show system pages", waiting for the full sitemap to reload and giving my member group view and edit permission for the Drafts pages and Composer pages in TWO places. I missed this the first time around.

The two places for Drafts are 1) under Dashboard and 2) under Drafts.
The two places for Composer are 1) under Dashboard and 2) under Page Types!

As soon as I enabled view and edit permission for all of these the problem went away!

Best of luck,

John.

P.S. Please mark this as an answer if it works for you.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I wasn't aware of the Composer option under Page Types. I've copied the permissions from Dashboard > Composer to Dashboard > Pages & Themes > Page Types and made sure the sub-pages are inheriting the same but unfortunately this doesn't seem to have worked for me, I'm still getting the error.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Ooh, following on from your suggestion I also checked the permissions of the Dashboard > Drafts page and once I changed the Edit permissions here it worked. I wouldn't have figured this out if it wasn't for your original suggestion so thanks!
