Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the pointer! I've read through the page, and it sounds
straightforward. However, I've bumped into an issue when trying to do
something similar for Website content.
1. I set up a "Physical Therapy" structure in the website section
using the
superuser account.
2. I created a "physical-therapy-editor" role and set the ACL to
read/write
"/" for Website. (This isn't what I ultimately want, of course, but
illustrates the problem I'm having nicely.)
3. I created a PT account, assigned the "physical-therapy-editor"
role to it
and logged in. I get no content: just the magnolia logo, a panel on
the left
side of the window with nothing in it, "User: pt | logout", and a
big blank
space where the content panel usually is.
So, obviously I've missed something in setting up this Role or the
account,
but I don't know what it could be. Any idea what I might be
missing? I spent
a while trying to sort this out yesterday to no avail. :(
Have a look at the existing users and role definitions. You read-need
access to the menu items (shown at the left side) etc. If you copy an
existing role verbatim, its good start. Then restrict it to only be
used for the menu item (call the role "menu" if you wish). Then add
other roles for the specific sites. Combine several roles per group,
and put user in the relevant groups.
There are a couple of things you will need to look at for your kind
of setup, but its possible - and if all else fails, either sponsor
Magnolia to develop what you need, or develop it inhouse (you have
the source) and commit it back (so you don't have to maintain it
through release changes).
Cheers
