The Workbench Access Module allows you to limit content editors’ access to specific sections of your website.
Quickstart gives you the option to set editor access for different users for different sections of your website. This can be done based on Menus or based on Taxonomy terms. This allows you to restrict editing privileges to various content.
To enable the module, an Admin needs to go to Manage > Extend and search for Workbench Access and install it.
To set access permissions:
- Go to Manage > Configuration > Workflow > Workbench Access
- IMPORTANT: Click the Settings button and ensure the box labeled “Deny access to unassigned content” is checked. Without checking this box, the section access settings won’t work!
- Click back to Schemes.
- Click the Add Access Scheme button.
- Enter a Label and Plural Label for the scheme.
- Under the Access Scheme dropdown select Menu or Taxonomy.
- Save
- If you choose Menu, a list of Menus and Content Types will appear. Select any menus you wish to modify access to and which content types.
- If you choose Taxonomy, a list of Vocabularies will appear. Select any terms from this list you wish to modify access to.
- To modify access for different Editors on different pages, return to the Access Schemes overview page.
- In the Operations column on the right, click the Sections button for the Access Scheme you want to edit.
- Click the links under the Editors and Roles columns to assign individual users edit access to specific pages, or give entire roles access to specific pages.
- Note that permissions “flow down.” So if you give an editor access to a menu, or sub menu, they will also have access to the items contained within that menu. So it is only necessary to grant access permissions to the highest parent element.
