Page permissions for editor

[jacmaes]

I'm confused by how PW handles user permissions. I have created a user role of editor with the following permissions: edit, view and update profile.

This is an events website where the editor should be able to add and edit events and cities, but not other pages such as categories that are set once and for all. This is my page tree for the editor:

There are a few problems here:

1. The editor should not be able to create new categories ("categorías")
   
2. The editor should not be able to create other pages at the top level, i.e. there should be no "new" next to "Inicio"
   

The "edit" and "view" permissions are all fine. For example, they should only be able to view the categories, and it works as expected. But it's the page creation permissions that I do not understand. This is the access tab in my "categories" template:

In this setup, the editor should not be able to create pages, but it seems to apply only to the children of that template. If I undertand correctly, the page permissions are inherited from the home template, and for the editor to be able to create new events and add cities, I had to tick all the checkboxes (view, edit, create and add children) in the home template for the editor:

What am I doing wrong here? Or is this kind of fine-grained control not possible currently with PW?

Thanks, WillyC. Thanks to you, I realized that I forgot to change the permissions in the parent template for the categories. Everything's perfect now.

Diogo. That's right, you're from Portugal

It should be launched at the end of next week. I'll keep you posted.
