Questions regarding Super-Members and the CMS Permissions

I have a member of my website who is a Super-Member so he can upload files to the archives and add articles. But when he accesses the CMS, I want him to not be able to see or have access to certain areas that are vital, like the Pages for Comcode pages and File Media Library, Products, etc.

Basically, I want this super-member to ONLY be able to access certain things within the CMS. I know there are settings to change whether they can add or remove to other users content uploaded, but are there settings to set visibility for certain aspects of the CMS for this member? I have been upgrading them to Supermember for their uploads and then after they are finished I demote them so they dont have access to the CMS, which is a high security area.

THANKS

Hello,

There is a site-wide permissions editor. You can set view permissions on every component / page of Composr there.

Go to Admin Zone > Security > Permissions Tree Editor.

  • Need support for version 10? The core development team is no-longer offering it for free (unless it's a critical bug that breaks your entire site or a serious security hole). Please consider hiring me instead if you need v10 support or a non-critical bug fix. Or, ask the community in the forums!
  • Do you enjoy Composr? Please consider contributing your talent to the project or recommending Composr to others. Even small contributions make a big impact in the Composr community.
  • Do you have feedback for us? You can report bugs, suggest features, or give feedback on the Free support options page.
  • Do you need professional service with your Composr website? Please consider contracting me for your needs through my company, PDStig, LLC. Doing so will also help fund Composr development.
  • Want to watch live streams of me developing Composr CMS? Please subscribe to me on Twitch to be notified when I stream. Composr development streams are usually spontaneous / not scheduled in advance as work priorities come first.
