Hi,

Normally the way to do it would be to just log out, but with Windows authentication there isn't really a way to do that. We've tried to make the edit links as unobtrusive as possible so they have minimal impact on layout, I guess you could replace them with even smaller icons.

The only other solution would be to use Forms Authentication with Active Directory, this way users have to login and can logout but they still use the same windows user name and password and it authenticates against Active Directory.

Sorry but I don't have any other solutions to offer for this one.

Best,

Joe

Hi,

I would like to add that if you have in house developers that know ASP.NET and jQuery, it would be pretty easy to implement a solution to toggle showing and hiding those links with jQuery based on the CSS classes on the links or on a container element.

I would make a control or UserControl and embed it in the footer area of the layout.master file in the skin. I would use server side C# code to check if the current user has any edit permissions on the current page and if so I would show a link and I would wire up some jQuery javascript to toggle showing and hiding the edit links when the user clicks the link in the footer.

Hope that helps,

Joe
