Hi All,

Recently we got requirement from client, client want to restrict content authoring in classic mode (cf#) based on usergroup .Is it possible to restrict like that ?

Client want users need to authoring content in touch ui mode not in classic mode.,Even if users forcibly open page in classic mode(page open with  CF#) we should not allow the access.

You need to use sling filters and need to follow below design.

Steps :

  • As you are using author instance so you must execute only in author environment. you must add this in run mode configurations
  • Inside doFilter() method you need to check the URL contains "cf#" or not. and it is good to check run mode also author or publish along with "cf#"
  • Use configuration manager to configure groups
  • Read groups from the configurations and iterate
  • Now get the username and check whether he is in a particular group or not
  • If the user in a specified group then you can perform redirection to touch UI page, by replacing "cf#" to "editor.html"

Hi,

You can do this with the help of filters.

As soon as user arrives in classic UI, it will be redirected to Touch UI.

E.g. Redirect user to classic UI welcome screen based on userid/group

You can do similar.
