Kentico CMS 6.0 brings you a great new feature that allows you to only display content to your editors if they have the needed
Read permissions. To enable this feature, simply follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable the "Check document permissions" setting
Go to Site Manager, Settings, and select your site. In the Content, Content management section find and enable the "Check document permissions settings":
According to the help, this setting does the following:
"If enabled, only documents for which the current user has the Read permission are displayed in the content tree (in CMS Desk -> Content, in document listings and in various dialogs where the content tree is displayed)."
While this is simply awesome and a must have, please take notice of the following information:
"In case that a user doesn't have the Read permissions for any document at all, a message is displayed instead of the content tree, saying that they are not authorized to modify any document. If a user has the Read permission for a child document but not for its parent, the child document is not displayed as well."
In other words: the user always needs
Read access to the parent node.
Step 2: Configure the document permissions
Notice that I denied Andy read permissions on the Home page.
Step 3: View the result
Note: I configured the permissions of multiple documents and denied Andy Read permissions for them resulting in the illustration above.
