When an edit only group has been set up to not allow new entries to be created, it is still possible for a member in this group to create a new entry via the cp crumbtrail: Content -> Edit, edit any entry, then click ‘Publish’ in the crumb trail. This presents the ‘Choose a channel to post in’ menu from which a new entry can be created. CP access for the group is set as follows: Access content section: Yes; Access content publish: No; Access content edit: Yes; Channel Assignment, post and edit entries: Yes.

Could this be a bug or just an option in my group settings?

Hi guru24,

As you have selected Can post and edit entries in for that Channel then yes users will definitely still be able to Publish to that Channel.

The Can access CONTENT: Publish is really just to take away the main Publish menu.

I do see this as being a slight bug though so I’ve reported that here for you.

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks Mark.

I guess it makes sense that post and edit entries: Yes would allow new entries to be created, but all other settings suggest that posting can be prevented while still allowing edits (publish: no), and this can almost be achieved apart from posting access via that one crumbtrail link.

It seems odd not to have an edit only permission; or at least publish: no should actually do what the setting suggests.

Agreed, the settings language here could be improved upon. I’ll make sure James, our resident user experience expert, sees this. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
