Restrict pages visible in admin for users.

[Wojtek Nowak]

Hello!

I have simple workflow:

1. site has several users, 
   
2. each user have his own wagtail site, 
3. each site has it's own:
• root_page 
• Moderators group with Permission(codename='access_admin') and GroupPagePermission(page=site.root_page, permission_type=['add', 'edit', 'publish'])
  
• Editors group with Permission(codename='access_admin') and GroupPagePermission(page=site.root_page, permission_type=['add', 'edit'])
  

Currently when user is logged he can see all pages, but only edit his own.

Is there any wagtail-way to restrict Page explorer so that user can't see other pages in explorer and other places?

Structure of pages:

0001 - root

00010001 - subscriber1.localhost 

00010002 - subscriber2.localhost 

00010003 - subscriber3.localhost 

kind regards,

Wojtek

Hello,

I think  you can use the new hook introduced in wagtail 1.4

http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.4.1/reference/hooks.html#construct-explorer-page-queryset

Take a look :)

Hello! 

Thank you very much!

But actually it's partial solution to my problem.

@hooks.register('construct_explorer_page_queryset') works fine for filtering in /wagtail-admin/pages/.

What I also wanted to do is to filer pages in menu, which is on click ajax request to /wagtail-admin/explorer-nav/.

which calls in view -> get_navigation_menu_items() which is not filtred by any hook. (or i'm missing sth).

kind regards,

Wojtek

Hi Wojtek,

Interesting. I just posted a similar question.

Did you find any solution?

Hi Wojtek,

One step further...

I added an extra entry to demo.urls.py:

from demo import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^django-admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^admin/explorer-nav/$', views.explorer_nav, name='wagtailadmin_explorer_nav'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(wagtailadmin_urls)),
    url(r'', include(wagtail_urls)),
]

 and created a custom view in demo.views.py

def get_navigation_menu_items(request):
    site_root_page_id = request.site.root_page_id
    if site_root_page_id:
        site_root_page = Page.objects.filter(id=site_root_page_id)
        return [site_root_page,]
    else:
        return []

def explorer_nav(request):
    return render(request, 'wagtailadmin/shared/explorer_nav.html', {
        'nodes': get_navigation_menu_items(request),
    }
)

As you can see the request is handed over to the view and used to call get_navigation_menu_items.

This setup works but I guess some checks have to be added.

@hooks.register('construct_explorer_page_queryset') can be used to restrict the result in

admin/pages/

Best regards,

Robert
