What would be the easiest/fastest way to give a group of users editing rights to content only? They want to be able to edit content but not have access to any admin settings, user management, etc.

I know we can setup a security role for this but then would we have to go module by module or page by page in order to give edit permissions? Or is there a faster or better way to accomplish this?

Take a look at Oliver Hine's Advanced Permissions Module (oliverhine.com). It gives you more a more granular way to set permissions than is provided in the Community Edition of DNN. One permission gives edit rights to content, and other permissions can be use to remove rights to perform other adminstrative functions.

Used with the option to copy a pages permissions to its children, does provide a way to do this.

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Follow up question that is somewhat related... is there any way to set the default permissions for a content pane via the skin? Similar to how you can set a default container?

For instance, we have sites that use a module that must be added to all pages - the client will never need to edit them but it's content that can't just be written into the skin. However, if we add edit content rights to the page and not just the main content module, they are still able to edit any module on the page.

So is there any way to say that a pane is only editable by a host account? Without having to edit the permissions per module?

For panes, no. There are no permissions attached to panes, and they don't have any other properties.

If you create a module, set it's permissions, and then set it to display on all pages I think that the permissions go with it.

Was worth a shot! Thanks!
