Permissions

Permalink
I have activated advanced permissions. I have allowed a certain group to edit certain blocks on a page. That's good. What I can't do is find how to prevent them from modifying the nav bar, header, and footer. All blocks in those areas are available for editing for the group that I only want editing certain blocks in the body.

Is there some trick to this? I have to allow the group to edit page contents or they won't get an "Edit" button but there is no way to "Set Permissions" in header or footer.

Hi bigjohn767,

What version of concrete5 are you using?

If it is 5.7, this looks related.

Try going through the 'Advanced Permissions' docs.

For editing certain blocks you see the Area, Block & File Permissions documentation

I've been through the documentation and haven't found an answer. Editing and setting permissions on the content of the page works fine. I don't have an option when I edit footer or header items to set permissions on those blocks.

Finally I found it and I hope it helps others. You need to go to Stacks in the Dashboard and then set permissions on each stack. Make sure you change the permissions to Manual or else they will change when you set the Page permissions.
