Permissions for Page/Module Deletion Restrictions

What are your thoughts on adding an additional role to the Pages/Module which would let site Administrators set who can delete Page/Module?

 OR  

Maybe using Edit role as the indicator of whether Content Administrator or other roles can delete Page/Module.  So in cases where we have Administrators as the only role selected under "Roles that can Edit...", then Content Administrators would not be able to delete the Page/Module.

Re: Permissions for Module Deletion Restrictions

Hi Alex,

The second idea should already be the way it works, if a module or page is marked with edit permissions for Admins only then no-one else should be able to delete it. If it isn't working that way now then I would consider it a bug and fix it so let me know if that is the case and I'll look into it.

I'm also open to the first idea of adding a special permission, if you feel you really need it, it would be easy enough to implement.

Note that when we talk of deleting a module I'm thinking in terms of really deleting it as opposed to just remoiving it from a page which does not really delete it. I think anyone with edit permission on a page should be able to remove a content instance from the page, but again if admin is the only role that can edit then no-one else should be able to edit the page therefore no-one else should be able to remove it from the page.

Best,

Joe

Joe,

We are on the same page here.  When I say "delete" I mean entirely, not just from the page. Right now, Content Administrator can still go into Content Management and remove a module even if it has  Administrators as the only group that can edit it.

Never mind, this appears to be fixed in 2.3.7.5
