Hey Guys,
CMSB is a really great program!
Could there be a way to assign users to areas so that when they log in they only see the areas that they are allowed to? I believe this would help with multiple contributers working in large content sites.

Also an authorization system that can be used (if needed) so that administrators can authorize new changes via a list that would propagate in the administrators' admin area and/or via email notifications. You could make it so that you could choose which administrators would be doing the authorizing.

Thanks for turning out such a great product,

Michael, glad to hear you're enjoying it! :)

You can actually limits users so that they can only see and update certain sections. If you add a user under: Admin > User Accounts you'll see a field called "Menu Access". You can enter the sections that user is allowed to see/access like this "Jobs, News" or enter "All" for all sections.

There's some basic instructions just above that field. If you click the "Tablenames" link it will give you a list of all the menus so you know what to type in.

As for the suggestions, thanks! "Email notifications" of changes is on the feature request list. There's also some basic options for hiding records until they're "approved" and we plan to expand on those features in future.

Hope that helps! :)
