Hi all!

Love the new site :)
I'm wanting 'Content Authors' to ONLY have access to a ModelAdmin menu item called 'Applications'. I have turned of all other permissions for the group (see screen grab) but Content Authors can not 'create' a new application object they can only view them... what am I missing here?

anyone? Happy to pay for some help :)

Hey nimesodelta,

Have you set up your own canView/canEdit/canDelete/canCreate methods on your Application DataObject? If I remember correctly, DataObjects permissions are admin-only by default. You could add each of these methods and simply use: return Permission::check('CMS_ACCESS_CMSMain');

If you need more control, take a look at the PermissionProvider documentation: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/permission

Hope this helps,
Loz

Thanks heaps Loz! That would make sense! I'll try it out in the morning... sleep time now :) thank you so much for your help man! I owe you a beer! are you in NZ?
