How to have different people adding content to site

[RonnyK]

I want to have different people adding content to pre-defined parts of the site. For example one person can only change data under a specific menu-item that reflects his department. Another person is not allowed to change content that is not relevant to his area.

Is this something that FrontEndUsers handles, or in combination with CustomContent, or do I need something else. I don't want them to change the structure of the site, only under the node of which they are the editor

If I've understand right the easiest solution could be a user / usergroup without a permission. If you create a page you will see "additional editors" in Tab Options. With a click you can add users. These users can only see this page.

Thanks for the reply Cyberman. I'm not sure if you answered my question or that I read your reply correct. You mention that they only can see these pages. Do you mean that if they login to the admin-console with a specified login, they can only see content of which they are "additional editor", and that they can't add anything else.

I'll try to visualize my issue:

main
-group1
--page11

-group2
--page21
--page22

I've two groups that I want to add/edit content under their menu. So the editor for group2 can only add/edit content in the pages under the menu "group2". I'm not sure if you mean with "only see these pages", that editors of group2 only see content of group 2 and if that means that they can't add pages at all, only edit existing pages.

I think it could be set up either way.  If you give the "no permissions" group permission to add pages, then they will be able to add pages as well as edit any pages for which you have set them as an Additional Editor.  If you really give the "no permissions" group no permissions, then they can only edit the pages you let them edit.  They won't be able to create new.  In either case, I don't think they can see pages that they can't edit.  I haven't played around a lot with groups and permissions, so hopefully someone will come along and confirm or correct me.
