Restricting content in CMS

Hey,

I'm trying to restrict the viewing of content in the cms to certain users. They should only be able to view one page on the site, but also be able to edit that page as well. I've made a role that denies them access to all the other pages which works fine. But is there a way to hide pages in the Content view so that can't see any other page besides their own?

RE:Restricting content in CMS

Hi,

Regretabbly, security based on document ownership is not supported in Kentico CMS. Anyway, it is planned to be implemented in version 6.0.

For now, I would recommend you to consider using Starting alias path property in General settings of particular user. It is the starting alias path of the content tree in CMS Desk -> Content. If you specify this value, the user is not allowed to browse other sections of the website in the content tree. On the other side, please note that this feature is only intended for better usability and it doesn't ensure security control - if you need to establish access rights for the given user, you should grant him with appropriate document permissions (Properties -> Security).

Best regards,
Michal Legen
