Site Permissions/role question

nvisioncurtis - November 9, 2009 - 17:41

Hi All,

How would I allow a user role access to some admin items but not all?

For instance, there are items that I wish to give a user Role (Published) access to that are under the admin menu. but I don't want to give them access to modules, or other site configurations which appear if I enable the permission 'access administration pages'

specifically,

http://www.vetshealing.org/admin/settings/faq
http://www.vetshealing.org/admin/content/node

Do I need a another module to administer this level of privs.?

check user

check user management->permissions again. there are many checkboxes which u can check/uncheck to set permissions for users. and you can prevent users from administering modules.

I can't get this to work for me.

Perhaps I'm just thinking about this the wrong way, but I would like to give a publisher/editor access to some items in the admin pages. Paricularly http://www.mydrupalsite.com/admin/content/ But not allow them access to items that could break the website.

How does a publisher find pages that are not published without access to this tool?

I created a new role which by default only has the permissions for Authenticated user. Then slowly added a few system perms.

Unless I enable the permission 'access administration pages' no access is given to the admin pages (probablly as intended). But if enabled, too many other things are also enabled with options to turn off.
