Restrict specific role to see only a given directory in content tree

Dan . asked on September 17, 2018 13:39

Hi,

I have a group of users assigned to Role X. I would like only one specific folder within the content tree to be visible to these users. Quickest way to achieve this?

I can restrict them from all other folders using the Properties > Security tab but this is a very manual process when my site has many folders. Furthermore, if a user then creates another folder, these users can view this newly-created folder until I amend the security permissions on it.

I'm looking for a way to say "X Role can see only X Folder". Is it possible?

Thanks

If you're wishing to limit what they see in the content tree in Kentico, you can set the users "Starting path" property to any relative value for the site. For instance, /group-1.
