Unable to edit permissions on pages

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I am running concrete5 Version 5.6.1.2 and have run into an issue with permissions.

I have the pro blog installed and am trying to install permissions to
that section for the blog editor/approver group.

I also created a generic group called Editor just to make certain it is not exclusive to that addon.

I set permissions in the system settings >> Site Access and toggle items there.

Then I try to remove access on the pages they won't have access to.

Alternately, I try to set permissions sitemap >> permissions

Both methods result in a never ending spinner.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
imJack

I am currently in the process of setting up a custom blog system on my site. Also I'm looking into some permissions issues in relation to pro blog for another user. Currently I'm at work and will have time to look into the this for you in about 4 hours when I get home if no one else has solved it for you!

Hi Enlil, anything is appreciated. I did also use the WordPress importer which required minor clean-up but everything went smoothly.

Thanks for helping out!

I was able to login to your site and have a look around. I believe what you need to do is navigate to the blog page. Hover the edit button and click "permissions". Under who can edit select all the groups you'd like to have permission to edit. Click save.

Okay... for those who are having this same issue: the permissions have to be assigned at the Blog Page,[edit >> permissions] not from the sitemap >> properties>> Set Permissions... don't ask me why. I don't really care why. Enlil, YOU ARE A FREAKIN GENIUS!!!! THANK YOU!

This is the answer folks.

note for community:

Advanced permissions are NOT being used in this case.

I ended up engaging advanced permissions as recommended by Enlil earlier... it resolved the issue.
