Access control

Hi

I'm trust someone will be able to assist me. Please excuse me if my question is trivial, I'm quite new to Experience Manager and CRXDE lite.

I have created a group (e.g. TestingGrp) and users (e.g. Mathandos, Andrew) and associated the users to the group. In CRXDE Lite I create a folder (e.g. TestingFolder) and I want all the users in TestingGrp to only have read access to TestingFolder. When Mathandos or Andrew logs into CRXDE Lite they should only view TestingFolder and nothing else, no other nodes or folders should be seen by these users.

Another thing is when I do create an access under path it shows null.

I'm hoping my question is clear enough as to what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in advance

Mathandos

Can you try enabling the access to the root directory '/' and then try removing the access to the folders that you don't want listed. Access to CRX root is necessary for CRXDE to list the tmp folder.

Please reach out to me for any other queries

You can refer http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/security.html. For TestingGrp you have to give read access to TestingFolder through security console. Note that you might have to give read access at root as well and then deny access to subsequent folder keeping root and TestingFolder read accessed checked. Please use CQ admin UI to change this permission.

Step 1: Go to users console (You can go from the Welcome screen)

Step 2: Double click on the user group

Step 3: CQ Folders are displayed at the right side

Step 4: Check access option for each of the folders. If you uncheck Read permission of a folder, it becomes invisible in CRXDE for that particular user group.

 

Hope this answers your question !!! It is pretty straightforward

Thank you, your responses are appreciated.

I have followed suggestions from both of you, but only one problem, when I login CRXDE as user Mathandos I don't see the folder I have read access to. All I get is an empty node.

Am I missing something?
