    hi there...
    somebody please help me solve this...

    I am trying to create a user to edit the content of pages from front end...I have created a log-in page using the directions in this page...
    http://rahul.rahul.net/modx-hints/modx-login-link.html

    I could successfully create the login page and also create a user ’jessy’, who can log-in and log-out of the site but do nothing. I created a role, ’editor’ with edit document,save document and run module options. Now my problem is when I log-in with the username jessy, I can just log-in and log-out but can not edit or see quickedit.I can see the quickedit button when I log-in as admin.....
    I understand I have to assign the user to the role i have created but don not know how.. There should be many out there who did this. so please help me.....
    thanks in advance..

      because the quickedit ajax-script runs as a module in the backend and for some other reasons quickedit runs only for managerusers (which have the permission to run modules), not for webusers. you can use web2manager to login as manageruser from the frontend http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=493
