Page Permissions

[leemchildress]

Greetings. I'm a Processwire newbie so bare with me, but so far I really am happy. However, try as I may I cannot figure out how to apply permissions on a per page basis. I work for local government and am redesigning our website. Lets so I have a content template, and in that tree is various departments. For example, the Auditor's office should only be able to edit their branch, and same for the other departments, but all I see it template permissions allowing everyone to have access to everyone's data. What am I missing?

I think for this specific "hierarchy" you might benefit from looking at AdminRestrictBranch and if it doesn't exactly fit your needs you'll get some ideas for hooks within it's code, although I understand you are new to ProcessWire but from the looks of your project you're in for a ride! Keep in the touch and welcome to the forums!

So you might benefit from having various roles that fit the "branch" where you want to work on.

Thank you for the welcome. I had seen, and tried, AdminRestrictBranch, but I could not get it to install on version 3.0.244. I'll fiddle around with it or write a custom script. Thanks again elabx.

Oh why does this happen? It worries me I might encounter this sometime.

I am running it on 3.0.247 without issues but let me know if you notice anything.
