    Hi,

    For the first time I’m wandering how to deal correctly with trustees on modx and..well that’s not so good.

    The situation is :
    A couple of users will be Editor and can manage documents everywhere.

    For a number of people they should have their own private document page.
    For organization purpose I created a Private folder doc that will contains each individual page (one user - one private page)
    --\PRIVATE-DOCS
    |
    +- user1-private only/
    +- user2-private only/
    .....


    I have setup mug-user1 -> md-user1
    (individual group for 1 person only, linked to a manager document group containing basically only the leaf object ’private page for user1’.
    If its parent (the \PRIVATE-DOCS folder containing all private pages) is not in the md-user1, then user1 does not manage its private page under this folder (don’t see it in the tree.

    To be able to see and manage its user1-private only page, the \PRIVATE-DOCS folder should be accessible too but in a "read only/traversing" state only. However I can see the user1 is totally able to do whatever he wants with this Parent At least he should NOT be able to delete it !.

    Am I wrong , did I miss something ? How to achieve this ?

    thank you

      In Tools > Configuration, on the Interface & Features, if you set "Show protected pages" to Yes, then your users will be able to see Resources in the tree, even if they don’t have access to edit them.
