How to grant access to Pages Tab
Hello.
I've tried every role i can come up with but the only role giving access to the pages tab is the Administrator role. Tried logout and logon, recycling of application pool.
Which specific permission gives access to the pages tab?
(Pages tab, where one finds Dashboard, Content, Design etc...)
Hello Andreas,
In order to set permissions for the Pages tab you need to go to Administration->Permissions click on "by Role or User". Now from the left menu choose your custom role and scroll down in the right pane until you reach Widget Templates section. You will see a Pages sub-section in it, where you can add the wanted permissions. Please keep in mind that assigning only the "View" permission won't give you access to the Pages tab since it refers to the frontend pages.
Next step is to go to the Pages tab and click on Permissions for all pages on the right hand side, where you need to assign your role to the required permissions.
Take a look at this video where I create a role and assign permissions for view, edit, and delete of pages. You may want to check out our Documentation for more information on managing permissions.
Thank you, that worked!
Maybe you are up to a follow up question? If I have two roles on one user, one role which grants access to a certain page and one that does not (bot does not deny). Which one overwrites the other?
Hello guys,
@Andreas
In case of 2+ roles assigned to one user the permissions from both roles are combined, so in case there is no explicit denying of a page you should be able to access it. If one of the roles have permissions, but the other have explicit denying for a page, the page won't be accessible since denying has more priority.
@Cyril Bioley
In order to give access to a specific page you need to go to Pages tab and click on the Actions menu for the corresponding page. Choose Permissions and break the inheritance of the page. From there you can specify the permissions you need to for that particular page.
I hope this helps.

Again someone having problems with this and wasting time. Still don't get it why it has to be true out of the box?

The "video" link results in a screencast error "We're sorry! We were unable to locate the requested page."
Hi,
The video has been deleted as this is a reply posted three years ago. Please refer to our Sitefinity documentation.
