Outgoing Email access for non-admins

Hi Mikey,

There's currently no built-in way to give non-admins access to that page, though we can keep this in mind for future updates.

A relatively simple temporary solution could be achieved by updating the file /cmsb/lib/menus/_outgoing_mail/actionHandler.php and commenting out lines 7-9 to look like this:

// if (!$GLOBALS['CURRENT_USER']['isAdmin']) {
//   alert(t("You don't have permissions to access this menu."));
//   showInterface('');
// }

This will allow global "Editor" users to access this page, though they won't be able to see it in the menu - they'd need to navigate to it directly or from a custom link. Also, note that this is a core file, so any changes made to it will be overwritten when updating the CMS to a new version.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Hey Daniel,

I gave that a try, but I get the following message "You don't have permissions to access this menu."

Hi Mikey,

Just to confirm, are you trying to access it with a user that has their overall Section Access set to "Editor"? This won't work for Author/Viewer users, nor will it work for "By Section" access.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hey Daniel,

Their accounts are "By Section" access. 

Any other suggestions?
