Manage Permissions

Overview

Advanced Content Manager registers its admin permissions (ACL) under:

System → Permissions → User Roles → [your role] → Role Resources → Blackbird ContentManager config

Besides the global permissions (Content Types, Content Lists, Repeater Fields, Store Flags, and Contents in general), a dedicated permission tree is generated dynamically, per content type, under:

Content → Contents → Specific Contenttype Contents

For each content type you create, two nodes appear here, named after the content type's title:

• <Content Type Title> : allows viewing/accessing the contents of this content type.
  • <Content Type Title> - Save : allows saving contents of this content type.
  • <Content Type Title> - Delete : allows deleting contents of this content type.

This lets you restrict a role to only manage the contents of specific content types (e.g. a role that can only edit "Blog" contents, without access to other content types), instead of granting access to every content type at once through the general "Contents" permission.

Notes

• This per-content-type permission list is rebuilt automatically whenever content types are added or removed; it always reflects the content types currently defined in your store.
• The "All Contents" and per-content-type entries in the CMS admin menu (see Group Identifier) respect these permissions: a user only sees the content types they are allowed to access.
