newsletter

I have a question about the newsletter module.
I want give multiple users permition to edit and sent newsletters but the user may not have permitions to other administrator functions.

I tryed to do this by making a new page with a link to the newsletter and add the user to the "Content Administrators" and "Content Publishers" group.
Unfortunately it don't work that way.

Re: newsletter

Hi,

Create a role name "Newsletter Administrators" and it will work, but you will need to create your own link to the ~/eletter/Admin.aspx page because the Newsletter Administrators can't currently access the main Admin Menu. The system is coded for this role name and I should have made it create the role automatically. I will fix this for the next release.

Thanks,

Joe

Re: newsletter

Hi Joe,

I added the "Newsletter Administrators" role and then added a user but the user is still receiving, "Sorry, you are not allowed to view this content. If you have questions about your permissions, please contact a site administrator."  I'm missing something basic I'm sure but I think I've looked through the documentation and forums without finding an answer.

By the way, I'm excited to get my client into the Newsletter Admin area.  It does exactly what they want and is a great way to develop their content before sending it out.

Thank you,

Josh

Re: newsletter

Hi Josh,

Unless you upgraded from a very old version you should not have had to create that role as it is created by default.

Note that if you made any typos when creating that role and then edited it again to fix the name, it did not really fix it because there is a distinction between role name and role display name. When you initially create a new role the role name and display name are the same, but once a role is created the role name never changes even if you change the display name. This makes it possible for example for people to localize the display of the Administrators role and other built in system roles without breaking functionality. So if you did have to edit that role then you should just delete it and create it again making sure you name it exactly as "Newsletter Administrators", but again on newer installations this role should already exist.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: newsletter

If that does not solve it then please be very specific about which urls they are trying to access when they get the access denied page.

Best,

Joe

Re: newsletter

Thank you for the reply.  I'm guessing the role was deleted last year manually by me which is now causing my problem. I was attempting to limit the amount of questions my client had about all the different roles they were seeing in the page settings security tab since they could not access any of the roles.

Thank you,

Josh

Re: newsletter

Note also that if you add an existing user to a new role, he needs to logout and then login again to get the new role.

Hope it helps,

Joe
