Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 19, 201510 yr Is there a place (or any way at all) to lock down permissions on who has access to the widget configuration/placement flyout tab. You know, the drag and drop thing for sidebar blocks?I'm missing something somewhere right? It's not just available to all administrators right? Actually, do we have any ACP controls besides administrators = all access?
January 19, 201510 yr Community Expert Are you talking about who can view the block ? If so, there's no permisison in any official widget till now. I will use on my app:
January 19, 201510 yr Author Actually meant this: Having people who have permission to deal with some stuff in the ACP is fine but I can see some people going nuts with block manager not realizing they are changing it for everyone. We don't have ACP granular permissions do we? It's all or nothing right now I think.

I will use on my app: I think he means is there an ACP restriction for the front-end widget panel so that way not every admin has access to just modify pages/widgets on the fly.
January 19, 201510 yr Community Expert There's a permission to mod, if I'm not mistaken, to allow them to manage sidebar widgets.

January 19, 201510 yr Members > Moderators > Edit > "Can Manage Sidebar"It's the first option in the list
January 19, 201510 yr Author Thanks! So it's under staff section. Ok, I can see why I missed that. And I see there is also some granularity for administrators as well. Still, suppose I had a situation where there are some people I want to have access to the ACP. Some to handle the Commerce section. maybe a person or two to wrangle just forums. That's not rolled out for 4.0 yet is it? Admin is all ACP or nothing?
January 20, 201510 yr No, you can set up admins so they can only access certain areas in the ACP if you like. Members > Staff > Administrators. That is all feature complete.
January 20, 201510 yr Author Thanks Andy - very different from the 3 system. Seems better through and through - just would never have looked there at first glance.
