problem with Child Permissions

hi Joe,

I have defined a custom role called "project".

I have created a user that is a Content Author and is in "Project".

I have created a new page called "project page". Security is set to content authers and project role: can edit the page and can create new page beneath.

My user can create new pages... but when I view the security tab of the new page the permission checks are not in the new page.

I would expect the security sets are copied to the new page.

Am I missing something?

(I use MS SQL 2253)

Thanks in advance,

Roger

Re: problem with Child Permissions

Are you sure its not working? It should inherit the parent page permissions. When the user goes to create a new page the security is disabled and will by default have "All Users" checked, but when the page is actually created it gets the parent page roles, so if you check it after the page is created it should be right.

I just tested it here and that part worked as described but I encountered a bug where the user gets an access denied error when trying to create new pages if not in the admins or content admins role. Not sure when that bug got introduced, but the one you report doesn't happen for me.

I will get a fix out for the one I did find as soon as possible.

Best,

Joe

Re: problem with Child Permissions

Hi Joe,

Based on your response I have tried to solve it. After awhile i discoverd that if i should remove the "content author" from the page it worked.

And indeed your were right. Permissions are inherited on child pages. Now I can restrict the pages to different groups of users.

Thanks!

I am encountering this same bug where users in new roles can edit page contents but cannot add a new page. Specifically, users see "Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this content. If you have questions about your permissions, please contact a site administrator." but no error is logged.

I'm still using Version 2.2.8.2 MSSQL - has this problem been resolved?

Thanks for all your hard work Joe and team :)

Re: problem with Child Permissions

Yes, that was fixed in version 2.2.8.3. FYI, I will be making a new release early next week, so if you wait a few days you can upgrade to the very latest.

Best,

Joe
