Ticket: Publishers add-on acces rights for approval

Add-on / Version Publisher Lite 2.4.0

Description:
I want to give Publishers acces to the add-on so they can see the list for Pending approvals.
Acces is denied when I set “Show Publisher Menu” to Publishers but when I also add them to “Can administer Publisher” it does work.  I don’t want them to see all the other options in Publisher.
Is there a way to only show the ‘Pending approvals’ part?

Thx,
Martijn

I don’t think the permissions are that granular. I’ll see if I can change things so the Pending Approvals page is available to Publishers. It could be a few days or a week or two before I get around to this since its not technically a bug, but more of a feature request/change. I like the idea though.

One thing you can do is give the group “can admin publisher” permissions, but not assign the Publisher menu in the CP menu config, but instead give that group a direct link to the Approvals page with a custom menu item.

I think you may be missing a setting. Make sure you have that group selected in the “Show Publisher menu” option. If they don’t have permissions to manage Publisher, they’ll get a smaller menu such as this:

Hi Brian,

Yes I do get the smaller menu but I also get an error when I click on one of them. “Unauthorized You do not have permissions to access the requested page.”
