Best way to restrict access to part of a resource

So we have a user that tends to destroy things. I would like to restrict access of this person to just a few paragraphs on one resource since that’s all she will need to change.

I can see where I can restrict by resources but that’s an entire resource and not just a chunk. Unless I am missing it I can’t find where I could restrict her to just one chunk (or any chunks) so I can’t make just a chunk for her to edit.

I also don’t see where I can load a resource into another resource. So I need to make a snippet to load the resource into another? That seems a bit convoluted.

So what can I do?

You can restrict editing of Template Variables (and other Elements) by using Element Category ACLs to restrict access to Elements in those specific Categories. See http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Restricting+an+Element+from+Users.

Ok gotcha. But the next problem I see is TinyMCE doesn’t seem to active in a TV. Is there a way to change that?

If you declare the TV’s type as Rich Text, it should work, assuming that the current version of TinyMCE is installed and configured properly.

Another way to go, would be to use NewsPublisher and let the user do the editing in the front end (after logging in there). NewsPublisher will only show the fields you list in the &show property and TinyMCE should work with a rich text TV there if you set &initrte=`1`.
