I'm testing Pimcore right now, to see if it's a good fit for our company.
I was wondering if there is a way to give a user specific rights, like an author only being able to make content and edit his own content?
Yes you can provide user or role based permission to documents, assets or objects. Click here to see the screenshot of the user screen
Steps are as follows -
Go to settings -> User
Click on the specific user on which you want add some permissions.
On the right screen part go to the workflow tab.
Click on the add button present near Document title if you want to add permissions on documents. Same can be done on Assets and on Objects
Drag and drop documents on which you want to allow permissions.
Check the boxes if you want to allow user to publish, unpublish, delete etc.
Save
Same can be done on roles as well. If you want same set of permissions on couple of users then you can make a specific role, assign the desired permissions and then assign that role to multiple users.

I need to give permissions to edit/create/destroy pages in a node to a group of users.
I've created a group and added a test user to that group.
I can't seem to give permission to the Pages application so see if i can see the node.
I also added game this role permissions at the node level too.
Ideally this editor role would be able to create new sub pages, which also means being able to upload media.
Your new user must have editor privilege level (you can edit user in Users application). If you want to provide ability to see content in Pages app you have to grant the user with Browse tree and Read permission (content module). To satisfy your scenario you need to grand user with Modify and Create permissions, too (maybe Design?).
Just FYI: The approach provided by Brenden (cloning the role) is very handy but there a is chance you grant the user with permission you don`t want to provide (inappropriate permissions for original role).
I've found the most efficient method is review the out of the box roles provided by Kentico and clone the one which fits closest to your needs. Then modify your cloned role to add/remove abilities and permissions.
If you're unsure of what each role can and cannot do, create a new test user with one of the roles assigned to them and log in as them. Do the same for all the roles you want to test until you find the one closest to what you're looking for.
I have created a form for a specific group of users in my CRM 2011 system. I want only them to be able to see this form. I can copy their a security role and set the form for this security role only, but I will have a a problem:
they are currently in a security role with another group of users. If I copy the security role, the will not longer see the specific customization's all over across the system.
I only want one form to be different from the others. Is there any way I can find all the forms that are enabled for the specific security role (in order to give the new role this rights too)?
Assumptions based on your question: You already have default form for the entity that is used by all users (All Users). You want to add an additional form to that entity that is only available to some of the users (Select Users). All Users are currently assigned a security role that gives them the necessary access to the system.
Create a new security role (Form Specific Role). You don't have to give this role any privileges just a name.
Assign the Select Users the Form Specific Role. Do NOT remove their other security role(s).
Add the new form the entity, Restricted Form.
Highlight the new form and click Enable Security Roles. Select the option Display only to these selected security roles and select the Form Specific Role you created in step # 1. Make sure Enabled for fallback is unchecked. Click Ok.
From the forms list Form Order and select Main Form Set (or the appropriate form type if you are working on a Mobile or Quick Create Form.
Use the Up/Down arrows to make the new, Restricted Form, the top choice.
Save and Publish all changes.
Now whenever a user that has been assigned the security role accesses this entity their default form choice will be the Restricted Form. There will be NO impact to any other forms they are accessing or any of their privileges in the rest of the system, as required by your problem statement.
i am using Drupal 6.x
I had created two users i.e. a user with all permission i.e. Webmaster and other is member. The permissions of member are restricted and are allowed only to create story, delete own story and edit own story. However when i logged in with member name i got only three option i.e.:
My account
Create Content
Log Out
The post submitted by that user is not visible. I want to display all post published by that user in its account detail, and here he/she can easily edit, delete or modify his/her content. How it can be possible. Have you any idea. If yes then please guide me step by step. waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance for this support.
This is because of permission issue, steps to solve this issue
Create a view to list the story with edit button.
Go to the admin/user/permissions and give create, edit and view permission for the user.
publish the created article via admin user.
Last assign the created view block to users home page.
I have created one content type 'video' in which I have many fields like url,language,locations etc. I have created 1 role, Now I just want to give permissions to that particular role so that he can only add fields like url,locations. He shouldn't be able to use other fields.
I am using drupal 6.
Please help if you have any idea.
Thanks in advance.
Go to /admin/build/modules, CCK portion, and enable the Content Permissions module. This will allow you to restrict "field-level permissions for CCK fields".
After that, go in and go to /admin/user/permissions. Grant access to "Create Video Content" in the "node module" section. Then, scroll up to the content_permissions module, and check the "Edit field_NAME_OF_FIELD" to grant access. If you don't check, it should show up.
All of the checks should be applied to the role for which you created.
Hi
I am been looking at the different permissions and I am wondering is it possible to restrict what a person can add?
I just see "add Item" and this seems to allow a user to add anything. Weere I want some users to be only able to add a "page" were other users can add a "page" and a "category"
Just a thought. If we go to the root site -> site settings -> Site permissions. you will be listed with site permissions of the site. Clicking on settings of the list, you get Permission levels, where you can add a new permission level.
In your case, there can be 2 permission levels created - one which allows adding items to lists and other which allows adding pages. These permissions can be used while creating users or groups to assign permissions.
Hope this helps.
Add an event receiver to the list, and if they try to add something of the wrong content type, cancel the add in the event receiver.
