Stacks or Page Permissions

Permalink
I am launching my first commercial Concrete5 site. It is in the final stages. I am just determining permission structures and have a question.

I have created a group called Site Editors.

I have created a user and added them into this group.

The content that will require updating in the future is located in stacks.

At this time I do not want to use Advanced Permissions.

Here is my question:

Should I grant them permissions to edit the stacks directly on the page? Or instead should I just grant them permissions to edit the stacks directly through Dashboards >> Stacks & Blocks >> Stacks.

Although it probably doesn't affect the above question, I have added the following White Label statements to config.php:

define('ENABLE_MARKETPLACE_SUPPORT', false);
define('ENABLE_INTELLIGENT_SEARCH_HELP', false);
define('ENABLE_NEWSFLOW_OVERLAY', false);
define('ENABLE_APP_NEWS', false);

I appreciate any assistance. User permissions is my last setup requirement before I finish the site.

I did more testing on this question this evening. The conclusion I came to is that my "Site Editors" will need permission access to both the Stacks section through the Dashboard and the ability to edit pages directly.

C5 Permissions are definitely a challenging part to clearly grasp.

Fortunately I found an excellent how-to describing how to setup simple permissions.

Good job Matt Waters!
