I am currently new to DNN and am trying to setup restricted user accounts for my company's sales team.  I want them to be able to edit all current and future pages.  As well as create new pages from the current templates.  I would like for them to not do anything else that is administration related, so I do not want to make them full administrators.  Is it possible to do this?  The security roll settings seem very limited.  I created a security role for them but it seems that the only thing I can do is add them as editor's to current pages.

 

Is there anyway to create a limited security role like this?

users with edit permissions for current page are also allowed to create child pages.

More granular permissions can be applied by an advanced permission provider, either in PE or free "Enhanced Permission Provider" by Oliver Hine.

If you want to grant permission to an admin module, place it on a page accessible for your authors.

Thank you for the quick response

 

1.  So they would not be able to create new set of pages then?  Also I take it they would not be able to create a hidden orphan page?

 

2.This may work, I will have to look into it but would like to avoid beta modules if possible.  I will move to this if I can't get the proper permissions set by using the default tools.

 

3.This method should work perfectly since the users wont be using any admin modules.

 

Thanks again for the help!

They can create a whole tree of pages under a page, they got edit permission granted.

A hidden page may be created anywhere in the structure as well.
