I am building a cms where I want to maintain admin control but give a Manager ability to edit the different content sections. I just discovered that I can not give a user Section Access to sections that are type Category Menu. It appears that it is automatically forcing this type to admin only access! How can I override this. I need to be able to allow my Manager type user to edit these Category Menus. I use one as the dynamic menu structure for content pages and one to categorize members on the site. If I have to give the user access as admin then they can get at other things that I don't want them to see or touch.

Hi Dave and jsantari,

I too would like to be able to assign users "Manager" rights and be able to assign them to "category" menu types as well as "single". I'm still in the process of creating the areas and would like to try out the "beta" version if this will do the trick. Should I email you as well?

Dave,

Any progress on having area access based on login yet? What I'm looking for is essentially what was posted earlier; e.g., a way to allow user's to login and restrict what sections they can see and edit, based on login.

Hope you and yours had a great New Year! [;)]

Hi there.

I know I heard Dave talking about this release. It's actually being testing about 10 feet to my left right now :). Dave isn't in the office today but I'll check in with him tomorrow for you. Had you sent an email to dave@interactivetools.com yet?

That's probably the best way to check in, but I will pass along the message :).
