Setting template access permissions

How to configure access to templates on a per-group or per-user basis.

To set template access permissions, you must be an administrator.

From the LiveWhale interface, click the “Groups” link at the top righthand corner of the screen.

Template access permissions can be set at the group level (affecting all members of that group) or on a user-by-user basis.

To edit template access permissions for a group, click on the desired group. For user permissions, click the user. (Note that template access permissions will not appear on a user edit screen unless that user is authorized for the Pages module.)

In either case, locate the section for template access permissions on the group or user edit page.

Next to “Add path for site”, choose the site you wish to authorize a template for. Next, enter the path to the page or directory in the text field. For example, “/biology/templates/generic.php” or “/biology/templates”. If a directory path is used, template access permissions will be recursively available for all pages beneath that directory path.

When done, click the save button.

Note: If you do not set explicit template access permissions for a user or group, those users will be automatically authorized for all templates in the system.
