EZPT: Granting Anonymous user read access to a sections

I created a section so that I can create a simple template overide over all articles in a certain section. Once I created the section I realized that anonymous users do not have access to this section.

Because of the power of eZPublish user policies the interface takes a bit of getting used to. Since it took me a couple tries to get it right, I’m documenting the steps for future use.

  1. Go to the User Accounts section of the Administrative panel
  2. Click on “Roles and Policies”
  3. Edit the Anonymous user
  4. Click on “New Policy”
  5. Choose the “Content” module (or if you are using another module select that one)
  6. Click “Grant Access to one Function”
  7. Choose function “Read”
  8. Click “Grant Limited Access”
  9. Select the limitation, in my case I only want to grant access to one section, so I just choose the section and click OK.

This simple exercise should give you a feel for the power that you can have with just a couple tweaks of the eZpublish user policies.

    I have never been much in favour of online shopping. The idea that the ancient physical delight of strolling the marketplace or bazaar and taking in its sights and smells might one day be replaced by clicking and dragging from a desktop is one I have always found more repugnant than convenient. But that was before I found out aboutWhat is Etsy? If you ask its founder, 27 year old Brooklyn based Rob Kalin, Etsy is “a childhood word from a Fellini movie” that he chose because “it embodies the curiosity of imagination” (the naughty Kalin has also playfully told the press that Etsy comes…http://bestnews-4u.com/
