Permissions for folders ?

Hello,

I studied and tried to reproduce the use of permissions via sections, roles, policies, user/user groups as described in "http://ez.no/sdk/tutorials/view/permissions/". I don't were very successful. Maybe because I don't understood the basic concepts:

- permissions can be used as a access control for the frontend (end user) or is this module only intended for the backend (admin interface)?

- it is possible to restrict the access to a sub path as e.g. /MySite/News/PayContent?

Regards,
Oliver

First you create a section and assign it to one or more nodes

Then you set up a role with permissions to that section

Then you assign the role to one or more user/user groups

The admin interface is nothing but a specific design - if you can't read it in the normal design - you wont be able to read it in the admin design.

You can however prohibit people from using the admin design. I am not quite clear on how to do this yet...
