Hi Joe

Forgive me if I've missed something here first of all.

We frequently get clients who would like to create accounts (trade accounts) for all of their trade customers and provide an area for them where they can access certain elements.

There are typically two scenarios:

1. They would like one generic trade area where they upload everything, everyone within the "trade" role sees everything on that page
2. They would like each trade user to have their own page / perceived page and access to their own content

In scenario 1 the system is great, dead simple.

However, in scenario 2 it appears to be less so. Typically the website owner is creating a page per trade user and publishing content (shard files etc) to that page so that only that specific trade user can see it; having added the trade user to a role specific solely to them and then granted the relevant page security.

This results in a lot of pages with a lot of modules; quite difficult to manage on a larger scale.

What would be great is if the website owner could create one "trade" page and then selectively give modular access to trade users at the page level. I know you can select specific users, not just roles, that can edit actual modules on a page; I wonder if you see any scope in extending this so that if, say you had 10 content modules on a trade page, you could give "viewing" access to x amount of them.

That way we could have one "logged in" page and website administrators could upload files all from one page - much more manageable.

Again, forgive me if this is something we can already do that I've missed.

Thanks

Mark
