Additional Editors Permissions
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:13 pm
Hello,
I created a new group called NOGRP with no permissions (i.e. left all boxes empty), and created a new user called NOUSR assigned to the NOGRP group. In other words, this user NOUSR should have the absolute minimum permission level in CMSMS.
I created a new page called PTEST and assigned NOGRP as Additional Editors in the Options pane.
Now, when NOUSR logs in to the CMS, only PTEST shows up in the listing of pages. However, the option for Copy is still there, and this allows NOUSR to create a new page based on PTEST. This is a bug, in my opinion, because even though the NOGRP group was not given explicit permission to add new pages, NOUSR is still able to do so.
The same thing happens on a per-user basis - that is, if NOUSR is assigned in Additional Editors for PTEST, instead of the whole NOGRP group.
Thanks!
