Question about Object States

Thursday 25 June 2009 3:24:42 pm

Hi all,

I'm wondering if I could use object states to restrict access for some folders in the admin menu.

Considering a use role "editor", that can read/create/modify/delete all the content under the root folder (gracefully to the section attribute). Root folder contains 2 folders, let's say :

-Root
--- News - Assigned section : "news"
--- Products - Assigned section : "products"

For the container "products", I would like to restrict access for the user role just for this container.
The editor could read/create/modify/delete products item children, but I don't want him to modify the "products" container.

Should object states help me to do this ?
I was thinking that the "ez_lock" default state would allow me to do this, but I can't even assign this state to an object. Is that as expected ?

Thanks for your help :)

Thanks for your answer Gaetano :)

Yes, I was thinking at first that I could use Section. But I though that the use of a section on a folder will automaticaly assign these section to its children.

How can I tell eZ to not do that ? I mean, just assign a section to a parent folder like you said ? Furthermore, how the third section will be automatically assigned to the children ?

Thanks for your help
