Access

To modify page or directory access, simply click the access icon in the Content=>Pages page.

Assigning Access to a File

Select the editing access group that can edit the indicated web page or file. You can also select overriding Publishers and Approvers, if desired.

Access: The default setting is "Everyone". If the Editors for a page is set to None, then only users with level 9 or level 10 permission will be able to access that page.

Toolbar: A toolbar can be assigned to a page overriding the user's normal toolbar, this is especially helpful if there is unique content where you do not want the insert image to appear like in a navigation file.

RSS Feed: RSS feeds are attached to pages, this page once assigned to a feed can write to a selected news feed when published.

Publishers: Setting a Publishers other than None for a page is optional. If the Publishers for a page is set to None, then the only users who can publish that page are users who have "None" set as their default approver.  Setting the Publishers for a page to other than None (select from any available group), bypasses a group member's default approver. That is, a Publishers group member's default approver is not consulted when publishing.

Approver: Setting the Approver for a page is optional.  If the Approver for a page is set to None (this is the default), then the approver is defined by an individual user's default approver. Setting the Approver for a page, overrides a user's default approver and ensures the page is approved by the user specified.

URL Type: Choosing the length of the URLs per page. The links can be absolute, relative to the site's root, or page relative. The page can also be set to inherit the parent folder's URL Type setting.

Assigning Access to a Directory

Select the Page Editing Group you wish to be able to edit a desired directory.

Directory Variables: You can create any number of directory variables that can be used by new page templates to supply values for new pages. For example, to assign an image directory for a directory other than the default images directory for the root of the site, use this property: ox_ftp_image_root The value for this property should then be the FTP path to the alternate images directory.

Note! Selecting the recursive "This directory and all existing items within" will assign the selected access group to EVERY file and directory within the current directory -- no matter how many nested directories there are within!  Be sure to consider any Access settings you may have already made to nested files and directories since this recursive action will overwrite all previously assigned access settings to them.  BE CAREFUL,THERE IS NO "UNDO" FOR THIS RECURSIVE ACTION!

Note: Only checked out pages to which one has access displays the access icon, assuming appropriate Authority Level.
