    User permissions: send to publish

    Hi

    I need to create a user who can create, but not publish, pages within a specific section of our site. I have no problem setting up a user so that they can edit existing content, then send that to publish for someone else to approve: but, for this to be useful, they need to be able to create and send to approval as well.

    Any ideas?

    Robin

    Hi Robin

    If you have access to the Umbraco TV we have a video about User permissions http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/content-editor/administrative-content/users/user-permissions/

    But as I understand your questions, then you need something like this, the TestUser here can browse the nodes and create and update node, and last but not least the user can send to publish.

    enter image description here

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Thanks for the reply, Dennis. This is the setup I was using (but I configured it again anyway). When I try to create a page I see a 'Save and publish' button (rather than 'Send to publish'): when I click this I get a big red error :(

    While this does "kind of" work, it's very choppy and not at all well implemented. I can set it so that a specific user can create a page and 'send to publish'... but only if they first click 'Preview' or 'Save', after which the main green button changes to 'Save and send for approval'.

    If they click 'Save and Publish' (which appears initially even though they don't have that permission), they get an error (see above) which freezes the page.

    It is possible to get back from this frozen state, but only if you have a fairly good grasp of what you're doing (the sort of user we'd give 'send to publish' permissions to wouldn't know what to do).

    Very disappointing, and I'm not sure it's good enough to put to my client.
