Roles / Permissions

[Gareth Price]

Good Evening,

I am looking to set up Roles/Permissions for our CMS authors/editors on Hippo CMS 11. This is what I am looking to do:

• We currently have a set of channels. 
• What we would like to do is restrict groups of CMS editors to specific channels.
  
• Ideally we would want to hide the channels that the editor does not have access to.
• Is this possible?
• How would I go about it?

I had a quick look through, but couldn't see anything as specific as I would like. It seems we can only restrict user roles to author/editor/admin who can see the entire suit of content but with levels of restricted use.

Hopefully someone can advise.

Many thanks

Gareth

Hi,

Access to a channel is allowed when access to its content root is allowed. So to hide some channels from some users/groups, you only need to hide the content root of that channel. I think this page can help you: https://www.onehippo.org/library/concepts/security/authorization-use-cases/grant-access-to-one-channel-only.html

cheers,

Minos

Thanks for the reply Minos,

I noticed these instructions come under the 12x Reference Docs - Is this facility only available from that version, or is there an equivalent in version 11 which is what we are using?

Yeap, here's the 11 version: https://www.onehippo.org/library/concepts/security/authorization-use-cases/grant-access-to-one-channel-only.html?view=399b0cb4-a606-4c40-9037-43ad759d4d43

Please keep in mind the above is an example. Point here is to see how to deny access to a content tree, since this is all you need in order to be able to restrict access to channels.

Great, thanks for sending that through. I will have a look through and get back to you if I need any further help.

Good Afternoon,

I am picking this question back up.

I have applied the following configuration:

https://www.onehippo.org/11/library/concepts/security/authorization-use-cases/grant-access-to-one-channel-only.html

When I  try to log in with my new user (bfrench) I get the error message:

Access to this application is not allowed for this user

I have taken some screen shots of the permissions:

________________________________________________________________________________

Details of user permissions (username bfrench as seen further down)

________________________________________________________________________________

Settings for common-read

________________________________________________________________________________

Settings for french-content

________________________________________________________________________________

Settings for French-Editors

________________________________________________________________________________

I have applied the change in the Configure CMS Access of the guide but this did not make a difference.

Is there anything else that I could be missing?

Hope you can help

Gareth
