[SOLVED] Why can an Editor not add pages?

Post by LouiseW »

The editor group is active and has one active user.
The editor is allowed to add and modify news and pages, so 4 boxes are ticked.
When I log in as the user belonging to the editor group, I can add  and modify news, but there is no link to add a page. The editor can only modify existing pages.  ???

What to do?

When you made the person an editor did you give them any other role with editor?...

Hello Dr. CSS

This person or User belongs to the Editor group only.

I checked one more option in the Editor group: Manage All Content
Now the User in the Editor group can add pages.

Is this option the correct one I had to add or can Editors do too much now?  ???
Thanks for your help

That is not what I want.
As far as I can see now the editor group can only do something with pages and news, not anything such as changing the template.

So I guess this setting solves my question.

The Manage All Content setting is what I was talking about...
