Can CMSMS limit backend users to specific pages? [Advice really needed]

Post by Ddyrholm »

Hi there.

I'm trying to make a page where different users have their own pages they can edit. Sort of a section of the webpage where only they can edit the content and see/add pages. This is only in the backend. On the frontend side all the content is available to everyone.

Does anyone have a good idea on how to do this? I'm kinda new to CMSMS so maybe I've just missed an option somewhere.
I have looked through the forum, documentation and modules list, but I haven't found anything yet.

It would be really nice if someone could help me.

Thanks in advance

Go to "Users and Groups" in the admin and create a group. Then give that group the "Add Pages" & "Modify Pages" permissions. Do not give them any other access permissions. Create a new user and assign it to that group. When that user logs in they will only be able to edit and modify the pages themselves.

I am also moving this to the Product Support section. This forum is for discussing the development of CMSMS itself. :)
If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
