RMweb Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Having just upgraded to 4.3.6 from 3.4 I cannot (in any browser) see the Manage Blocks slider arrow at the l/h side of the screen. says "When logged in as a member of staff with the moderator permission "Can use sidebar", you will see a tab sticking out from the left of the site." I am logged on as an Administrator and I cannot see, or find reference to, anything in permissions (or search) about allowing use of the sidebar. It's driving me nuts - it seemed to work when I did a test site in 4.2 - any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You can find the permission in your ACP => Members => Moderators. Make sure that your account is a moderator with the "can use sidebar" permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you might not want to give every admin the right to completely change your site and change or even delete stuff. So it’s a specific permission, not one every admin has by default.

Understood; but as the main Admin I think I'd quite like the functionality. So how do I enable it for myself? Even though I've managed to log in with a Moderator account now it won't allow me to drag and drop any content over (again a permissions issue?) and I can't find how to enable that.

opentype Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You don’t need to change accounts. You just need to set the right permissions for your account. 5 minutes ago, RMweb said: Even though I've managed to log in with a Moderator account now it won't allow me to drag and drop any content over (again a permissions issue?) and I can't find how to enable that. Maybe open a support ticket. There might be other issues on your site which cause this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
