    hellow,

    i have the following situation:

    a manager user can add announces on the site:

    the maindocument calls ’announces’. In this document i have set up a ditto-call.

    The manager user must have access to the maindocument ’announces’ before he can ad children to this maindocument.

    But that is the problem: he doesn’t may have access to this maindocument so that he can’t change this document

    for example:

    - maindocument ’announces’ (manager user may not have access)
    - ’announce1’ (manager user may have access)
    - ’announce2’ (manager user may have access)
    - ...

    when he create ’announce3’, he must have access to ’announces’ before he can save this document (child)

    can anyone help how i can set this up?

    thanks

      The only solution to this is to enable the Show Protected Pages, in the Configuration ->Interface & Features tab. Then the user will see all the documents, but will still only be able to actually access the ones he has permissions for.

        this option was enabled.

        i don’t think this is the solution

        because the main problem isn’t away: the manager user cannot create children if he doesn’t have access to the main document.

        that is my opinion at the moment

          One solution to that would be to have him duplicate one of the documents that he has permissions for, and then edit the duplicate.
