Restricting Editing Rights
Workflow is necessary when a large number of people are able to create and edit web-pages, but only senior staff should be allowed to publish the page.
To control who can edit pages
In general this should be restricted to Site Manager users and administrators. Removing groups will prevent them seeing the ‘Edit’ button in the left menu (see below screenshot)
- Right click on the page/section you want to change and select Permissions…
- Select the Write tab
- Highlight the group you wish to prevent being able to edit this page from the Selected Users box
- Click the remove button
- Click OK to commit the changes
To control who can publish pages
In general this should be restricted to Site Manager administrators only. Published pages are immediately visible to your website audience. Removing groups will prevent them seeing the ‘Save & Publish’ icon and being able to use right click to publish pages.
- Right click on the page/section you want to change and select Permissions…
- Select the Publish tab
- Highlight the group you wish to prevent being able to publish this page from the Selected Users box
- Click the remove button
- Click OK to commit the changes
