Editing Restrictions

You can restrict editing rights to a page by adjusting the settings inside the editing restrictions tab.  This allows you to specify, besides the owner of a page, who should be able to access and edit a page.  You can setup detailed editing permissions for users in the Settings > Users area of the system , and you can come back to your page(s) and setup editing restrictions per page.

This is useful if you are trying to setup a permission set for particular pages for particular people.  For example, your youth minister should only be able to access and edit their page(s).  They can not add or delete pages, only modify the content on the pages assigned to them.  In this example, in the Settings > Users area of the system , you would edit this user's profile > permissions to have only "Modify" (edit) rights within the Pages area.  Then, you would go to Page and work with the Editing Restrictions tab for each page that they should have access to.

To setup editing restrictions per page:

1.) Access the Pages tab and go to each individual page that they should be able to modify.
2.) Click on the "Editing Restrictions" tab.
3.) Choose the box(es) beside the names of available users that you have within the system settings > user's area.
4.) Click Save.

This will now allow the selected user's to access and edit this page.  Everyone else besides the owner and selected users will be denied access when they try to access and edit this page.

*If you would like to use this same editing permission set for the childpages of the page you are working on click the "Apply to sub pages" button and the same editing rights will be applied down to the childpages of the main page you are working on.  This is useful if you will be creating the same editing rights for a section of pages as it will save you time by not having to create this set for each page in that section.
