Hide nodes in CMSDesk

Is there any way how to hide document tree nodes in CMSDesk Content tab? I have experimented with document level permissions like Read, Browse tree but with no success.

Let's say I have a role called ProductManagers

I have a node under the root called Products. I would like to restrict the ProductManagers to be able to browse only the Products node. Other nodes under the root should not be visible or should not be possible to browse them.

Member	staymo-163 - 9/4/2012 9:46:16 PM RE:Hide nodes in CMSDesk three years past, is there any thing changed? Is there any way to hide nodes in the tree when current user is belonging to certain role? If current version can not achieve this, how about version 7? BTW, is it possible to specify multiple starting alias path in users' general properties? Thanks!


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 9/4/2012 10:31:11 PM RE:Hide nodes in CMSDesk Hi, There were many things changed since last 3 years and I would recommend reading the documentation first. You can find the steps how to do it described here. It is not possible to specify multiple starting paths - currently it has no sense since you can use the above to display the documents you want. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

Member	staymo-163 - 9/6/2012 2:45:31 AM RE:Hide nodes in CMSDesk I tried it and found some problems. What I really want is that some people can normally read some documents when they are browsing the live site; but when they log into CMSDesk, these documents which they have only read permissions will hide in the tree. Any advice? Thanks.

RE:Hide nodes in CMSDesk

Hi,

I'm sorry but this is not possible with Kentico by default. In the hint of "Check document permissions" you can find:

If enabled, only documents for which the current user has the Read permission are displayed in the content tree (both on in CMS Desk -> Content, in document listings and in various dialogs where the content tree is displayed). In case that a user doesn't have the Read permissions for any document at all, the root of the content tree is still displayed to them. If a user has the Read permission for a child document but not for its parent, the child document is not be displayed.

But there is still option that you can customize the Tree in CMSDesk on your own.

You can use the Kentico API.
