giving permission for editors to switch templates

Post by Rafe »

I may have missed it, but I don't see a way to give my editors the permission to swap templates.
It only seems to be something that admins are able to do.

However, it is very important to this web site that editors can also switch templates (but I don't want to give them any other admin rights so they can't mess up the site or mess up a template's layout - I just want them able to edit content and swap templates on any page.

Any ideas on how I can get CMSMS to allow editors to change any page to a different template?

tia!

I'm playing with the permissions to see if I can find a safe way to give editors a way to switch templates between pages  (for example, when they copy a page because they need the exact same content in another area of the site, i want them to be able to switch to the correct template for that site section).

There are 2 similarly named user permissions.

What is the difference between "Modify Template" and "Edit Template"  on the Group Permissions page?

I just faced the same issue - under if you check the box for "Modify Page Structure" that should do it...

Where is the "Edit Template" showing, as in Core, I only see this field as a lang-label.
