Difference between HasEditorAccess and HasEditAccess?

What is the difference between EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.HasEditorAccess and EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.HasEditAccess?

Solution

  • Looking at the code in reflector, I see this:

    private static readonly string _editorPath = UriSupport.ResolveUrlFromUIBySettings("Editor/");
private static readonly string _editPath = UriSupport.ResolveUrlFromUIBySettings("edit/");

...

public static bool HasEditAccess
{
  get
  {
    return Current.HasPathAccess(EditPath);
  }
}

public static bool HasEditorAccess
{
  get
  {
    return Current.HasPathAccess(EditorPath);
  }
}

    _editorPath resolves to "/episerver/CMS/Editor/", _editPath resolved to "/episerver/CMS/edit/"

    It appears that HasEditorAccess is only used within the PropertyXhtmlStringControl for the OnPageEditControls so my guess would be that there are capabilities to give a user only on page edit rights and keep them out of the full editor.
