I'm trying to setup a Role called "Content Editors" that would give members permission to edit all site content types -- without any other administrative access. No such luck so far, i seem to be limited to the user_1 full access, or "edit my own page" access, with nothing in between.

wwwmarty..

Try going to ADMINISTER -->> ACCESS CONTROL and grant Content Editors permission to ADMINISTER NODES (nodes=content).

When you setup new content types..you can specify whether they can edit those or not too under ADMINISTER -->> ACCESS CONTROL.

Thanks for the tip -- but i'm clearly doing something wrong. I checked and my Content Editor role had permission to administer nodes already. But there were a few other admin options that weren't checked, so i checked all of them before retesting, and wouldn't you know it? The role can now edit all content (and do just about everything else at the moment). So i guess it's just a process of elimination to figure out which checkbox did the trick.

Thanks for your help.

Okay i still haven;t quite isolated the checkbox responsible for global content editing, but i noticed that my Content Editors have access to the Access Control settings, and i can't find a way to disable that for this role.

Kindof defeats the purpose of a limited access role...

I still have so much to learn, but appreciate any and all advice.

You also need to assign specific user the content editor role for them to be able to edit content.
1. Content editor role must have permission to dit node.
2. User should have content editor role.
