Answered Content Editor (MODx user) Can't see EXTRAs tab

Hi, I have a MODx user with access privileges similar to the standard ContentEditor - when they log to the manager they cant see the EXTRAs tab in the MODx manager header and therefore cant access the GALLERY component... Any ideas how to enable this?

Cheers

The ContentEditor policy is fairly restrictive (only 24 permissions out of 172 -- mostly related to resources).

It's based on the Administrator Template, though, so it's easy to give them more permissions.

I would probably duplicate the ContentEditor policy, make my changes to the duplicate, and then assign the duplicate in the User Group's Context Access ACL entry for the 'mgr' context.

Thanks Bob. Do you know which permission it is that needs to be set ticked to allow the ContentEditor to see the EXTRAs tab?

I can teach you how to fish for it.

Go to Settings (gear icon)
Select "Menus"
Right-click on "Extras"
Select "Update Menu"
Look at the lower left for any necessary permissions.
