Answered Revo Security for Content Editor

Hi, I know this sounds simple, but for some reason it's just not clicking, and I can't work out why.

I want to create a user who can log into the Manager and edit a couple of resources in a resource group without being able to access anything else. I tried the Content Editors Policy, but that hid all of the resources in the tree, including the resources in the specified resource group. How can I set up a basic content editor's login? (I've seen this post (http://forums.modx.com/index.php?action=thread&thread=56747&i=1) and tried what BobRay suggested, but I couldn't see the resources in the tree).

Assistance from anyone would be very helpful.

Thanks for replying BobRay.

So I can see the resources in the tree now, but I can see all the resources in the tree, not just those in the Resource Group. How can I hide the other resources?

Connect those resources you want to hide to the Administrator group with a Resource Group Access ACL entry (policy of Resource, context of 'mgr').

As long as the content editors are not members of the Administrator group (and no ACL entry gives them access), the resources will be hidden from them.

There's a 50-minute video here where I explain how it works.

Brilliant, thanks BobRay. And I will definitely check out that video - I've been trying to understand Revo Security for years, just when I think I've got it, something doesn't work and I'm back to square 1.

Glad I could help.
