MODX ACL Security Tutorial (REVO)

After spending more time than I should've to understand how MODX ACL and permissions work I decided to write up this tutorial that will help you create a blog editor user with limited access to your site.

Let me know what you guys think, if it's clear enough and or if there's anything that can be improved.

Thanks.

Holy crap.

Thanks for making a tutorial that is easy to follow. I actually managed to create an editor user!

I tried following the tutorial from MODx, but I think they skip a step...which obviously messes everything up.

I'm glad it helped you, make sure to visit my MODX tutorial site CMSTricks I will be making an even easier MODX ACL tutorial when I finally get some down time again in the coming months so make sure to check regularly or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Thanks.

Great tutorial Ben. BTW, there is also this video (though people should be warned that it's about an hour long): http://modxpo.eu/schedule/sessions/modx-revolution-security-permissions-system

Hi @benmarte.

I know it's been 6 years, but do you still have that tutorial ?


Thanks
