Content staging security: limit access to users own staging tasks

Tobias Beckendorff asked on July 5, 2018 13:52

Hi Everybody,

I have some questions about the security options of the staging application (Kentico 10).

I setup the permissions for a role according to kentico documentation, so that the user can synchronize staging tasks for pages and objects (needed for Media files).

Question 1: In the pages tab of the staging application, is it possible to limit access to the staging tasks the user was responsible for ("Modified by"-property in the task details), so that he cannot synchronize tasks of other users?

Question 2: Is it possible to limit access to specific items (media files in my case) in the object staging tab?

Thanks in advance,

Tobi

@Tobias,

Question 2: Is it possible to limit access to specific items (media files in my case) in the object staging tab?

Answer: It is possible to limit access to specific items (Page, Data, Objects etc.,) using UI personalization application.

Please check.

@vasu

Not quite:

In UI personalization I can set permission for

CMS -> Administration -> Configuration -> Staging -> Objects, but not on a deeper level.

A user with these settings still can synchronize any tasks in the object tab of staging application.

@Tobias,

As per my knowledge, this is not possible in out of the box. We can try with custom development on top of the Staging Application.

Approach:

First Explore Staging application
Replicate same as a new custom module
Implement your custom logic

Refer below URL for Create custom modules in Kentico: https://docs.kentico.com/k11/custom-development/creating-custom-modules

I hope this will help you.

@vasu,

I share your opinion that this does not seem to be possible out of the box.

I was hoping to avoid recreating the staging application through custom module development.
