Setting page editing permissions

How to configure page editing permissions on a per group or per user basis.

To set page editing permissions, you must be an administrator.

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

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

To edit page editing permissions for a group, click on the desired group. For user permissions, click the user. (Note that page editing 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 page editing permissions on the group or user edit page.

Next to “Add path for site”, choose the site you wish to add an authorization for. Next, enter the path to the page or directory in the text field. For example, “/biology/about.php” or “/academics/”. If a directory path is used, page editing permissions will be recursively available for all pages beneath that directory path.

If editing a user, and they should be allowed to create new pages and directories, check the box next to “User can create new pages and directories”.

When done, click the save button.

Note: If a logged in user does not have page editing permissions at either the group or user level, but has access to the Pages tab, clicking that tab will present a notice that they have not yet been granted permissions to edit any pages.
