Beta Testers: New "Public Demo Mode" feature

Hi Dave,

In Fact, it is the use of Instant-Website which poses a problem to me.
The configuration of Section Access (for iw_pages) does not make it possible to indicate Author (only Editor).
Is It possible to indicate Author?

Thanks!

Hi Djulia,

Is this related to the previous post? If not, let me know and I'll always the previous post as well.

The reason Category Sections don't allow author access is because it's not supported by the hierarchical (tree-like, nested) structure of the categories.

For example if an author doesn't have access to a category they won't be able to add pages under it, but could edit pages, but not see the parent page. Sorting categories would also be problematic.

In general the "Instant Website" setup is designed for single-user usage.

If you wanted to try, you could change the bit of code that allows "Author" for category sections and see if the default behavior might work for you (Let me know if you want help with that).

Or if you let me know what you want to do maybe I could think of other ways?

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave

I thought interesting to use IW like an example on our version of demonstration and I did not know if there could be a security issue with an access on 9 in demonstration mode (?).

Also, I modified the level of access directly in the database (9 to 6) for config and pages.

Do You think that it is correct?

Thanks again! :)

Hi Djulia,

We allow admin access to our demo here:
http://demo2.interactivetools.com/cmsbuilder2/

So I think you are safe. No user should be able to see or modify another user's content in demo mode. To test you can open two browsers.

For peace of mind, you can always login as an admin user yourself and try break something in demo mode. I think it's pretty locked down.

Let me know if there's any other questions I can help with.
