My Permissions are all screwed up. I need help!

beckyjohnson - December 12, 2008 - 04:52

I'm using drupal 6.6 and setting permissions for people in my office to edit certain parts of the site. One person can edit the about section and the membership section for example but something is wrong. I gave this person the ability to edit any "about" content and edit any "membership" content, Create any content in these two categories and delete and publish and unpublish any content in these two categories. However, if she goes to a page that i, the 1 user on my drupal install made, and it is in her section, drupal still won't let her edit. So when she goes to a page I created originally, that is in her section, all she can do it unpublish and view. Why? I really need to trouble shoot this ASAP or my office mates are going to go batsh** on me. Please help!

I don't get it at all. I gave her access to content and ability to administer nodes. I had no idea configuring permissions could be this frustrating.

Thanks for any help,

Becky

Are you using some Nodeaccess module?
Anyway, Try rebuilding your perms cache at http://yoursite.com/admin/content/node-settings/rebuild

If you are

If you are example.com/user/1 you should be able to click her name and set her "role" ( a drupal concept, configurable at admin -> user -> permissions [or something like that]) to something that prevents your crazy office from going batshit.

I hate it when that happens...

hunch - "Input Format" is not allowed for her Role.

I'm going to try to rebuild

I'm going to try to rebuild my perms cache. I didn't know about that. Also, I wondered about why she couldn't pick an imput format on her pages. How do i configure permissions for that? I've stared at the permissions page till I am blue in the face and I can see where to check that.

[Update]: I found it. It was called filter, not imput. Thanks!
Thanks for the great tips.

Input Format Permission

gbrussel - December 12, 2008 - 16:07

Input format permissions aren't in the standard permissions page. They reside under Site Configuration > Input formats, where you can assign roles to different input formats.
