Hiding documents in the content tree based on permissions

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a visibility permission on content tree, basically what currently done is setup a role with none to check in content module permission, please reffer to the picture bellow for detail.
I set a test user with multiple role of which is Country Editor - Bahrain, Country Editor - United Kingdom, Country Editor - United States.
The problem is, with this setup I still can see the document in document tree.

PS. I'm not setting (not checked) any read permission for related document ie document type, or even in document level.

RE:Hiding documents in the content tree based on permissions

Hi Juraj,

I found something interseting, my thought is, basically every user will inherit default kentico Authenticated users role (see detailed pict).

My question is, what will happen if I change that default role to have no ability to read? are this will affecting to every user also? are this will affecting the front end page also?

RE:Hiding documents in the content tree based on permissions

Hi Joek,

Yeah, every logged user will inherit the special Authenticated user role (and is affectign them). I also believe that this setting wont affect the front page so you definitely can try to uncheck the read permission and follow up the documentation which Juraj posted. Then you will need to set up the appropriate read permissions because only users with that permission will be able to see that particular page.

The permission are sometimes hard to manage because of all the options. I would reccommend to play with it a little. You can make a backup of your database or create a new site using our site wizard for the testing before you put in your site if you like.

Let us know if you would have any other question.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek
