PageTypeSecurityAddOn v1.1 for EPiServer released
I recently posted about Granular Page Type security in EPiServer using PageTypeSecurityAddOn which I created as part of SecurityPack for EPiServer on CodePlex. After discussions with some collegues I have added some additional features.
Granular Page Type security in EPiServer using PageTypeSecurityAddOn
I was at a client site and they asked why users could edit a page that they did not have access to create. I asked what they meant and they said they they removed Create access in admin mode for a certain page type but users could still edit pages that were created with that page type. I explained the access was for create permissions only but the client disagreed and thought that if you cannot access a page type then why should you be able to edit it? To be honest, I agreed.
So I decided to create a plug in that resolved the problem. I wanted a plug in that would give me more granular access to page types in EPiServer, to allow me to specify who could edit certain pages types, not just create them. So I created PageTypeSecurityAddOn.
