Permissions

Hi,

I have a strange problem.

Created new manager user:

User can add and create new resources from main page (not via manager, but by using buttons on top of the page if you logged in)
BUT
If user tries to create same resource via manager page, I get this error : "you don’t have permission to create or move a resource here". Same user, creating same resource in the same place.

Really strange,
What can be the problem?

Cheers =)

Hi,

Does the below shed some light?

Permissions can be a confusing issue in MODx. Many people are thrown by the separation between Manager Users and Web Users.....It’s important to remember that Manager permissions have no effect on what people can see in the front end of the site and Web permissions have no effect on which pages Manager Users can access........

The basic rule of MODx permissions is really pretty simple: When a document is assigned to a document group and that document group is linked to a user group, only members of that group can access the document.

vitaliysh, can you tell us more about this manager user? E.g.:
Did you create a new role for it?
Is it assigned to a User Group .. do you have Document Groups set up etc..
Any details or instructions you can provide might help us reproduce the problem.
Thanks

ok, I created new role for Manager account (not web user), called it publisher (Roles tab in manager), here are settings for new role:

General
Request manager frames
Request manager intro page
View and send messages
Log out of the manager
View help pages
View action completed screen
View error dialog
View the about page
View credits
Change password
Save password

Content management
View a Resource’s data
Create new Resources
Edit a Resource
Save Resources
Publish Resources
Delete Resources
Permanently purge deleted Resources
Edit Resource META tags and keywords
Empty the site’s cache
View Unpublished Resources

all these settings are enabled.

Then I created new user Anu and assigned role of publisher to new user.

After that user can create/modify/delete new resources from main page (using buttons on top of the page), but not from the actual manager (says no permissions)

pretty much it

Edit:

No I have no document groups, all is public (not changed from base install)

How about setting "allow root" in tools | configuration? Could that be it?

yep!!! thats the problem. =)

Then I guess Modx have a bug, users can still create documents in root even with this setting off, by using top bar, not manager.

Everyone, thanks for your time. =)
