role definition problem

Dear Joe
I have two questions for you

I defined 2 new roles as Xrole and Xedit

- Xedit should be able only to manage pages and modules

- Xrole should be able only to create and manage Roles and Users
 

What I can NOT do (need your help) is:
- xedit: ..how can I let them show and manage the security panel on pages and modules (actually, if exist they are shown but only in view mode, if creating page the panel is not shown)?

- xrole: ..how can I let them show and manage the role panel (the one in administration page) and the role panel in member list page?

I have first worked on usual security panel at site level, the I've tried to work on mp_SiteSettingsExDef and mp_SiteSettingsEx... but it does still not work fore the features needed

Help !!

thank you in advance
best all

Re: role definition problem

Hi Joe, its me again (michele form rome)

I cant work it out

I defined a RoleUser as a user and a new role named Xrole

I gave Xrole the same permissions that the native "Role Administrator" has (working in site control panel / security settings)

I associated RoleUser to Xrole

I enter as RoleUser but the administration panel does not appear

I associated RoleUser to "Role Administrator" and now, entering, the administration panel does appear !!! WHY ???

 

But for me critical is the Xedit role (new) associated with EditUSer

I gave Xedit role the same permissions as "Content Administrator", but using it it does not show the security panel for modules and pages!!

So I decided to associate EditUser to "Content Administrator" and NIET, mothing for security appears !!! WHY ???

I'm blocked in releasing the project to client becouse they want specifically those roles !!

.. I've rebuilded index too !!!

 

tzum tzum tzum !!!

Joe ... where are you !!!???!!!

Re: role definition problem

Hi Michele,

Sorry but I don't really think I understand your question or what you are trying to do.

I do know that Administrators, Content Administrators, and Role Administrators are special system roles in mojoPortal. You cannot make other roles the same as those roles. If you want to allow someone to manage roles you would have to add them to the Role Administrators role you cannot make a different role have all the same permissions as Role Administrator because Role Administrators is a special role with permissions to manage roles.

If you want a user to be able to create users and manage their roles, then you must add the user to the Role Administrators role and either add the Role Administrators role to the permission for Roles That Can Manage Users, or create a custom role with that permission and also add the user to the custom role, but the only way they can manage user roles is by adding them to Role Administrators.

Also keep in mind that if you add a user to a role or remove him from a role, the user must log out and login again to get the new role cookie.

Best,

Joe

Re: role definition problem

Hi Joe, its me again (michele form rome)

Ok.. I've simplified all

For ROLE it's now ok: I defined a RoleUser as a user, I simply associated RoleUser to "Role Administrator"

FOR EDIT STILL NOT WORKS  (the critical one!!)

I defined a EditUser as a user, I simply associated EditUser to "Content Administrator"

.. I've then rebuilded index !!!

but NIET, no security label appears in Module settings, instead in Page settings security label appears and works!!


I'm still blocked in releasing the project to client (duetime end of this week)


ding, dang, dong !!!

Joe ... help !!!???!!!
(if you wish I send you credentials to see what's happening)

Re: role definition problem

make sure you did not add "Content Administrators" to "Roles NOT allowed to edit feature instance settings" in Site Settings > Security > Permissions

  • roles that can create root level pages
  • roles that can delete files usign file borwser
  • roles that can edit contet and style templates
  • roles that can lookup users
  • roles that can create users

Re: role definition problem

ok, is the user in any other roles besides Content Administrators?

Is he in any role that is checked under Roles NOT allowed to edit feature instance settings?

Really Content Administrators does not need to be added to

 

  • roles that can create root level pages
  • roles that can delete files usign file borwser
  • roles that can edit contet and style templates

because they can already do all of those things without setting it there

Re: role definition problem

hi Joe..

no role is defined under "Roles NOT allowed to edit feature instance settings" (all empty)

my "edituser" is only associated to "content Administrator"

hope it helps...

Re: role definition problem

if you email me the url and 2 sets of login credentials, one for administrator and one for a user where I will see the problem, I'll take a look.

Re: role definition problem

Hi Joe, its me again (michele form rome)

I dont know if it depends on what done for the problem in this topic, solved with your great help... BUT

- having standard FCKeditor, the editor menu is ok but when I try to put a link nothing appears and the Link popup page hangs.. but only on IE9 (firefox 7.01 works well)

TinyMCe instead work well both on IE9 and Firefox

if configuring instead CKeditor it displays only the html "native" page on both editors !!

Because I have seen that on your demosite the styleshout-envision skin works well on both editors, I thought it could be my skin problem

so I've tested on my site the standard skin styleshout-envision on version 2370

--> nothing changed

then I've reloaded all the installation files of mojo thinking that some file could be corrupted.

--> but nothing changed

where could be the problem ???

Apart of this, after reloading all installation files I did must then reload the new mojoPortal.Web.dll (to solve the problems that we managed)... But what will happen at the next upgrade of Mojo version ???

best regards, as usual

Michele

Re: role definition problem

Hi Joe, its me again (michele form rome)

I retried on demo.mojoportal and the problem is the same.. so I think its a Bug (having standard FCKeditor, the editor menu is ok but when I try to put a link nothing appears and the Link popup page hangs.. but only on IE9 (firefox 7.01 works well))

TinyMCe instead work well both on IE9 and Firefox

if configuring instead CKeditor it displays only the html "native" page on both editors !!

----------------------------

Apart of this... (waiting for a patch) the other question above (how can i upgrade versions... still replacing the dll file) is still alive
