Hi,
Issue:
Can you please let me know how i allow editors access to drafts?
Context:
Editor need to have access to edit content elements, If you give them the role permissions 'Content * *' all works fine but this also give editors access to read/amend/delete/version read other users.
So we use the limited role so you set the rights for Content so that it does not allow access to 'users' and 'user groups'.
Problem:
The problem with cutting down access like this is that you cannot allow access to 'draft' items. The draft items appear not to be available, Maybe 'drafts' are missing from the cotnent fnction list in roles? Is there are way of achiveing what i want? tia Tony

Has nobody else tried to lock down editors so they cannot see other users details?

Hi Tony I came across this issue in RC2 and reported it via our support agreement. I was informed it was a bug. Unfortinually I didn't add it to the bug system (which I see you have) and I guess it slipped through the cracks. Definately one I'd like to see a fix for.
Cheers
Bruce

I've also been experiencing this issue, I also thought it was possible to allow editors to create other editors but I haven't been able to acheive this without also giving editors the right to create full admins.

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

To fix proplem with drafts you need to add new line at kernel/content/module.php line 194.
"functions" => array( 'create' ),
after that modification user will be able to access draft if he is able to create smth. So to gave user access to his drafts you need to allow him to create smth.

To achieve this,
1. Create section called "Editor users section" or however you want to call it. and assign it to usergroup in which you have editors placed.
After that create policy for editors role which looks like this one:
content - create - Class( User),Section(Editor users section), ParentClass(User group)
I think this will solve problem.

I have tried to make a section for this purpose, but when I try to assign the section to a user-group I run into problems, because I can only browse in the normal folders-structure. The user-groups are hidden from section->assign. Have I forgotten anything? Jonny Bergkvist

If i understand correctly, I think you need to use Roles to define what areas users have access to.

There is a hidden fiture (actually a bug). When you go to browse page you need to change '2' in url to '5' which is top level node for users. After that you browse users not coontent.

smth. is something.
If role has one policy that allows to call create function, it will give user access to the drafts.
content-create-Class( Folder )
or
content-create-*
content-create-ParentClass(Folder),Class(Article) --SP
