How do you remove permissions in Crafter Studio 2.5?

In the permission-mappings-config.xml file we have the following rules for a group:

  <allowed-permissions>
    <permission>Read</permission>
    <permission>Create Content</permission>
  </allowed-permissions>

But the users still have the "Copy" and "Request Publish" options when they right click a page.

Solution

  • In CrafterCMS, the action Request Publish is automatically granted to all users who don't have Publish permission. There is no way to turn that off at this time.

    With regard to Copy, the permission copy means you read the item to the clipboard, and having a read permission is enough to allow the user to copy. Paste however requires a Write permission to the destination.

    As you probably guessed, Cut requires Read and Delete from source, and Write to destination.

    Hope that helps.
