Editing Permissions - Restricting or Enabling editing rights

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.

Editing restrictions are 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.

Working with Editing Permissions

1. Access the page settings by hovering over the page name in the page menu and clicking the gear OR clicking on the page gear while editing the page in the upper right corner.
2. Once in the page settings, click on the "Editing" tab
3. Start typing the email address of the person you wish to grant editing privileges to within the field under "Add Person" (see note above about needing to add the user first) and select the user by clicking the "Add" located to the right of the name.
4. Additionally (if you wish), you can choose to send an email notification to the user letting them know they have access to the page.  You can also click to "only show in site navigation if user has access".
5. Save Changes
