don't get add content tab with new role
	2007-03-20 10:54:39

Hi I've created a new role which should have the ability to just create and edit portal content. I'm able to assign this to a user but when the user logs in they don't get the add content drop down tab just three green contents, view and sharing tabs. I've got 'add portal content9; checked in the ZMI and I have also updated the default Plone Workflow. Thanks -- michael

Larry in the plone or folder workflow there are only four permissions you can alter etc and add portal content doesn't appear there. Seems strange that 'modify content9; can be changed there but not 'add content9; or 'add ATDocument etc' Anyway I took John's advice and tried adding specific content types instead of just 'add portal content9; and this works. So it is a case of modifying the Plone workflows and going to the root of the Plone site and updating the security settings so that different content types are available to add for the role. Be good if it was all in one place.

For example if you want "Page" to be available in the "add item" dropdown then you will need the "ATContentTypes: Add Document" permission ticked. cheers John On 3/28/07, michael nt milne < michael.milnegmail.com">michael.milnegmail.com> wrote: >; Yes-got that and 'add portal content9; checked-really frustrating that >; Plone can't create a role which can add content as well as edit it. > > On 3/27/07, habbers < john.habermangmail.com">john.habermangmail.com> wrote: >; > Have you given them the modify content permission? > > > > On Mar 21, 1:54 am, "michael nt milne"; < michael.mi...gmail.com">michael.mi...gmail.com> > > wrote: >; > > Hi > > > > > > I've created a new role which should have the ability to just create and > > > edit portal content.

Be good if it was all in one place. I guess if you see it as part of the cost of having such fine grained control over security settings in plone. In the security tab you set the specific permissions that a role has and then portal workflow lets you then chose which of those permissions you want to change depending on what state the object is at the time. For example letting a role add items to a folder it is in public draft state and not in published state. cheers john -- John Habermann Internet Programmer, System Administrator The Wilderness Society Inc http://www.wilderness.or g.au ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Take Surveys.
