User permissions in Manager?

Hi all,

This is probably something very simple, but I can’t seem to find any info on it.

I’m building a website that will have multiple users and a basic structure like so:

*Home
*User One
*Child
*Child
*User Two
*Child
*Child
*More Pages


Basically I’d like for the user to log on and get taken straight to "User x" manager page so they can add and edit the children documents. Ultimately I don’t want the user to be able to see any of the document tree other than what they have access to (the "User x" page and it’s children).

Is this possible?

My other option is to create a webpage that they can log onto and enter the form fields from outside of the manager.

While I’m asking, I’ll also need to have maxigallery put images on each page, just wondering if I can add the maxigallery fields to the manager itself to save the user needing to do two processes?

Thanks for any thoughts

That is exactly what happens when you use the security system.

1. Create a user group
2. Create a document group
3. Assign the document group to the user group.

4. Create a role

5. Create a user and assign him to the role and user group.

6. Create a document and assign it to the document group.

Now the user will only be able to see his own documents in the Tree.

It is possible to allow him to see other documents in the tree but not access them (Tools->Configuration->Interface and Features->Show protected pages); this is in the case of someone having permissions to access documents that are in a folder he does not have access to. Normally if a folder is protected, the documents in that folder will not be visible to a user without permissions to access the folder.

You can also use this same system for TVs; by assigning a TV to a given group only those assigned to that group will see the TV.

Cool, I’ll give that a go, sounds easy enough.

Worked perfectly thanks
