I'm migrating a project from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. In Drupal 6, it was possible to assign CKEditor-profiles to drupal-roles, but in Drupal 7 CKEditor-profiles can only be assigned to input formats. Does anybody know, why there is no more profile-role-assignment, and what is the benefit of using input formats instead of user-roles?

Hi,
We don't use user-roles, because it's a lot of problems with it. In Drupal 7 u have full support for text formats (in Drupal 6 it was a lot of problems with it), so user-roles profiles aren't needed here.
U can give access to specific text formats for users (Drupal feature) and it's not needed do it again in CKEditor module. If u want to give any options to users (group of users) u do this in text format and then assign it to CKEditor profile - here u have sth similar to user-roles in Drupal 6, but here u don't have to do this twice (in text format and CKEditor profile).

If u have more questions pls reopen this issue.

Greetings

Hi,

Same issue, different scenario.

I want two users to edit the same content but with different toolbars. Using different text formats will not allow them both to edit the same content.
