Editors and deleting assets

Hi Juan

You can edit the privileges of the editor role to enable "manage assets". You can set up any number of roles that suit your needs. The ones in the default install are just examples.

Kind regards

Jon

Thanks Jonathan

I have done this, but it still does not allow the Editor to delete assets.

Yeah you're right sorry I just tried it and it's limited to admin. Could you make a super editor using an admin role?

The client would like to be able to delete images that he has uploaded. He also isn't able to delete Galleries when he is an Editor.

I haven't asked him.

But I know, with the Galleries, once a car has sold and been removed from the sold section, he wants to remove the gallery associated with that car. If he has 100s of cars, he needs only the current cars' galleries to show up in the dropdown in the vehicle template.

<perch:content id="album" type="albumlist" label="Vehicle Gallery" suppress="true" order="4" />

The problem is simple. My client wants to be able to delete images.

And for him to do that I've had to make him an admin which means he is now able to delete regions etc.

So is there a way I can allow an editor to delete assets without making them an admin?

I have checked Manage Assets for the Editor role, but that still does not allow the user to delete assets.

Oh sorry I didn't realise I was already that far behind. Apologies.

That has indeed fixed the issue, the option Delete Assets is now there and when selected Editors can now delete assets, thanks.

What about being able to delete galleries? I don't suspect my client will need to do that very often, he made a few mistakes, but he now has the hang of it, so I'm sure he will be ok with not being able to delete them.

That's fine. Thank you for your support.

We're not really adding functionality to Gallery from this point. Instead we're concentrating on Assets.
