Permission system: editing pages on group level

Post by shackleton »

I'm using CMSMS 1.0.4 and I searched for a possibility to allow modification to certain pages on group level. At first, I posted this as a question in http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,10238.msg51990.html#msg51990 and got many replies of users who were confronted with the same problem.

I'd really appreciate if it were possible to configure a page in such a way that only certain groups are allowed to modify this page. On user-level this is already possible via the list of "Additional editors".
Allowiing to do this on group level would simplify the task of distributing permissions greatly.

Other suggestions and critical statements are welcome! There is a lot of progress that can be made in the management of group/user rights, so I think work in this area will certainly pay off.

This will happen in 1.2, the 'additonal editors' list will contain groups.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.

Bad idea. You should upgrade to current stable.

Running an old version exposes your site to compromise/defacing and other vandalism hacking exploiting old know bugs. You should only use curent stable official version for live wild internet sites.
