Security and limiting a content editor to a section

Post by jcaudill »

We want to have content editors limited to a particular section, say in our content pages section 3.6 they can make new pages under. But I don't want them to be able to add new pages to say 3.5, or 3.4. I want them to be able to only add 3.61, 3.62, etc. Is there any way to set this up? I got it to show only content pages from section 3.6. But, when you click add new page the drop-down shows all the content pages in the site. That I don't want. Maybe I have some setup wrong. If we could even limit the template that would be golden.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

TIA,
JP

This question was asked in the past, and was posted a workaround to limit user posting only in owned sections.

Search in the forum

Thanks for the useless reply. Maybe I posted because I couldn't find it?

At any rate, I already figured it out. There is no way to do this.

Much better :) I did not find that before. Perhaps I didn't search on the "correct" key words.

Google "site:" option does a better job searching the forum than the included "search". Of course alternate words are usefull too.
