Enable UI Cultures Tab for Editors

Diane Cogswell asked on September 12, 2014 15:48

I looked and looked and can't figure out how to enable editing of UI Culture Strings for the basic editor role. The CMS Editor can see the UI Cultures tab, but when clicked, it shows a "You do not have permission to view this directory or page" message. We are using Kentico v7.0.72

The Localization module (adding and editing data) is only available in the Site Manager. Where are you seeing or attempting to access this tab?

In the CMS Desk. Last tab. It's available for Admin level users.

Out of the box, that isn't supposed to be in the CMSDesk because its a global or a Site Manager page. You can tell by looking at the page in code, the template inherits the SiteManagerPage object.

If you wanted to include that in the CMSDesk, you'd need to clone a copy for yourself or modify the base (not recommended) and add a reference to the CMSDeskPage so you could set permissions there. I've done this before and it works, just not ideal and easy to setup like it is now in v8.x

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Brenden's response is again correct. This section is not available in CMS Desk by default and it must have been added there manually by modyfing the base files.

In version 8 there is no CMSDesk and Site manager so you can hide/show modules more easily.

Kind regards,

Richard Sustek

Thanks for the info. The company that developed our first site must have done that and then not copied the full functionality to the second. I'll discuss with them. We are planning an update to 8 early next year and this may be the push that we need to get that scheduled.

If you're upgrading this won't even need to be brought over to 8 simply because you can assign it in roles in 8 and don't need custom code. Look me up, I can help you out.
