Means without the AUTHOR_ADMIN role/permission?

I am trying to figure out ways to use the Contentbox admin so that authors can get access to their own content only. Is this possible?

TIA

Yes, Luis, thank you. Just their own profile without any access to other profiles. Same for content - just their own content.

if they don’t have that permissions, they can still see all content though. I don’t think there is a filer that can just show them their own content. As it get’s more complex. Do you show them content they are the original creators or content they are the collaborators.

There is no collaboration involved. Eash “author” is an independent user with own content and profile. Content will be a new content type I will have to register with BaseContent. Thinking of how to leverage all the goodness ContentBox already has :slight_smile:

Hmm,

Well, if you do not give author_admin permission, then the authors will only manage their own profile.

As far as content goes, if you do your own content type, then you are good, as you can filter the listing they see according to your rules.
