Description
Please note: This extension is no longer being updated, since it is smite down to the ground by it's bigger brother: Author Roles
This extension adds the option 'allowed sections' to the author-screen.
It allows you to control:
- which sections your authors are allowed to see
- which sections your authors are allowed to create new entries in
- which sections your authors are allowed to delete existing entries from.
- if certain entries should be shown or hidden.
It gives the ability to have multiple authors with diffent access. For example: You can now create an author who is only allowed to manager news items, and another author who is allowed to manage other content.
This extension is ideal for larger sites which have multiple people managing it's content.
Special notes
- When enabling this extension, you'll notice all you section-buttons are gone. This is because you first have to set the proper rights for yourself.
- The extension is purely cosmetic, so if your authors are able to 'guess' the correct URL, they still are able to access hidden sections or to create/delete entries.
- Disabling JavaScript will disable the 'expression'-functionality (since entries are hidden with JavaScript DOM manipulation).
