Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Empty Folder icons in top right hand corner...can these be removed for some users?
greavette
Could you point me to where I can tailor the adding or removing of the
copy/cut/paste/delete/Empty Folder icons in the top right of the page
for some of my users? I'd like to have all of my users who do the
data entry be able to create new new entries and edit entries in a
module, but I'm worried about them having the ability to do too much
damage by accident (especially when it comes to empting the entire
folder). I'm thinking of only allowing some users the ability to
delete an entry and I definitely don't want anyone except a certain
few (or maybe just the super admin) to have the ability to delete the
entire folder.
Thank You,
Charles.

In the xml file for the module, the line
<table modulename="Inventory" default_view="display"
orderby="inventorynumber" order="asc" limit="20" enable_new="true"
enable_edit="true" enable_delete="true" enable_empty="true">
sets global properties for all users of the module, including admin.
If you delete the statement
enable_empty="true"
then the trash icon will not appear when that folder is selected.
To change the permissions for the folder, select the folder then
select "Folder > Rights edit" in the top menu bar. Although the copy/
cut/paste/delete icons will still be present, they will only work for
those users that have the appropriate permissions or group
memberships. The New, Edit and "Edit as new" tabs only appear to users
who have write permission. Creating additional groups and adding users
to them as required provides a very flexible way of controlling
permissions.
If you change permissions for a folder then you might also want to
apply the same rights to any subfolders (select "Folder > Apply rights
to subfolders" in the top menu bar). Newly created subfolders
automatically inherit the parent folder's permissions.
Hope that helps,
Paul.
