How do I enable editing features in the Sitecore page editor?

I am using Sitecore 7.2 and am trying to allow the user to set things like data sources and some custom options in sublayers in page editor mode. The user is a member of sitecore \ Designer and sitecore \ Author, but when that user tries to change the properties of the component, the fields are grayed out / disabled.

I can enable these options by setting the user as administrator, but I don't want to give that much power to this particular user.

This is how he tried and it works on Sitecore 7.2

  • Create a new user named cbarnes (and in your case if there are other content editors)
  • Create a new role - name it Create SP Content Editor
  • Make this role a member of sitecore \ Author and sitecore \ Designer. Thus, it inherits everything from these two roles.

enter image description here

  1. Make cbarnes a member of this role.

  1. Finally, go to the security editor and give Write permission on the item after selecting the Author Authoring Editor role under Roles and Users.

  1. Log in as user cbarnes and check if it doesn't work.

Let us know if this works for you. Happy Sitecoring!

I actually ran into this issue today in project 7.2. Although my user had both roles sitecore\Designer

and sitecore\Author

as part of the author role I created, they could not edit the render settings.



By default, users in these roles have read-only access to the folder Sitecore\Templates

. In this folder, I had an additional folder named Rendering Options where I saved all the render options templates. I've added Write

client-specific role access to my Render Settings templates folder, and users of that role can now edit and save render settings without elevated permissions.

Use the Access View tool in the Sitecore Start Menu to determine why your user does not have the required rights.

By default, both the sitecore \ Designer and sitecore \ Author roles have read and input fields for the layout template fields fields. But it looks like roles only have read access to the item you are trying to edit. You can add write access to this item.

See Security Admin Cookbook for details
