Granting Author Permission to Specific Page

Jul 8, 2012 9:12 PM

Hi,

 

I have the requirement to grant individual authors access to their specific page (and no other pages()

 

I found something unexpected in doing this.

 

I created a user "product1" and granted them read / write / create / delete access to:

 

/content/mysite/en/products/product11

 

This let them navigate to:

 

http://myauthor:4502/cf#/content/mysite/en/products/product1.html

 

However, they were unable to edit properties of the page widgets until I granted them read access to:

 

/content/mysite/en/products

http://192.168.99.174:4502/cf#/content/digitalmailbox/en/providers/tel stra.html(i.e. the parent directory)

 

Is that correct?  I would have expected that it was not required.

I also confirmed that they did not have access to view sibling products i.e. the following was not visible:

 

http://myauthor:4502/cf#/content/mysite/en/products/product2.html

 

 

I also needed to grant read access to libs/*  - I'm not sure if that could possibly be a security risk.  I'm assuming it's OK for people to be able to read the foundation source code.
