I'm as newbie as it gets with EZ publishing. I have been tasked with trying to figure out how to set up a user hierarchy for a site we are testing out using EZ pub. My problem is I can't find a good step by step on how to set this up.

I went through... http://ez.no/community/articles/build_a_webdav_enabled_intranet_with_ez_publish
but it just briefly talks about how you CAN do it, but no step by step.

I basically want to set up content creater's and content approver's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I managed to figure out where the roles need to be configured, but I still can't figure out how to set it up.

Can anyone just tell me an easy way to set the policies up for a user to have to get all published content approved by another user?

I can get it so that a user only has access to content creation in the admin site, but the approval process is still alluding me.

This should help
http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_guestbook/implementing_an_approval_mechanism

It's part of a larger tutorial http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site and based on an earlier version of ezPublish (3.4) but the concepts are the same.

Cheers

Thank you very much for the help. Your a gentleman and a scholar.

I feel that I'm very close in getting EZ to do what I know it can do, but I'm still missing something.

My over all goal is to have all content that is altered in the admin area approved by the admin. I went through the tutorial. I understood that it was meant to have an approval system for a user on the public site, so I made changes acordingly. I assigned the workflow approval system to all user groups and excluded the admins.

My problem now is that when I try to log in with any user other than an admin I get "You do not have permissions to access <shop_admin>." or it will log in and in the content section, it will have a red box saying you don't have permission.

I'm pretty sure it is something I'm missing within the steps of creating users. Can you point me in the direction of instructions on making users, that have only access to making content and changing menus, that bridges to this tutorial?

Yet again I am very thankful for the help.
