I have been looking into templates, permissions and Form Customizations but until now I haven’t been able to find a way to hide certain templates for certain user groups. I expected to find this in Form Customizations but I don’t see any option to hide a specific Template.
Let’s say I want to hide the maintenance template that I made for all other User Groups except the Administrator.
How to do that?
First I created an Category "Admin Templates" and assigned some templates to this category. Next I created an Element Category Access rule and assigned the right to view this specific category to the administrator usergroup.
I expected other user groups without this rule assigned to them not to see these templates but after some permission flushes and cache refreshes they are still visible to all usergroups.
Am I missing a step here?
Positive on all points.(see the screenprint)
Flushed the sessions more than one time. Cleared the cache and even closed the browser windows a couple of times (despair mode ;-)
Structure like this:
MainTPLcat
-AdminTPLcat ---tpl1
---tpl2
---tpl4
---tpl5
---tpl6
So tpl1 and 2 should be hidden to all others except the the resource group with Category "Admin templates" assigned in my point of view and the rest tpl4,5 and 6 viewable for everybody.
I’m just wondering why it is not possible to do this the easy way like with TVs. You can assign TVs to a resource group... Why not the same Access Permissions Tab for Templates.
