group restriction doesn’t work on specific pages

  • Hello,
    I created two groups= group1 and group2.
    I have two pages = page1 and page2.
    Group1 has only access to page1 and group2 can only see/edit page2.
    Then I have 2 different author roles and two different editor roles, each one specific for this groups.
    This works fine.

    The problem is, that I am also using the plugin “Revisionary“: this allows specific roles (like author) only to edit pages and set this for revision but doesn’t allow to publish them.
    Only admin and editor roles have access to publish the revised page. The original page gets automatically a copy with the revised changes which disappears after it is published.

    So, when I edit a page as an author and set this as a revision, authors and editors from other groups can see this copy/revised page of the original page (they can’t see the original page).
    The Editor of another group even can edit the revised/copied page! This is fatal for me, because this way groups can see the revised pages from other groups and edit them..this would somehow kill the use of the UAM plugin..

    On the page list I can see that the revised pages/copy have ?access“ set as ?fully access“, not like the original page ?access > groupe1“ for example.

    So my hint is, that since the revised pages/copy of the original page have no sidebar where you can choose which group has access to this page, the access gets ignored .

    But on the page list the revised page/copy of the original page seems to behave like a subpage to the original page..so I thought the UAM should recognize this as a subpage and would restrict the other groups automatically to not have access to subpages of a page.., but it doesn’t seem so..

    Can someone tell me if UAM doesn’t work on this kind of ?special“ pages or custom types (I am not sure if ?Revisionary“ has it’s own custom type)?

    Has someone else came across this kind of problem?

    Thanks for the help in advance!

  • Do these special sub-pages keep the same tagging and categories as the parent published version? The restrictions can be inherited from either of these taxonomies (as I found when trying to unknit a messy [LR] situation).

    thank you for your reply.

    I assigned this pages categories and restricted them to their groups. But in the page list I can see that the revised copies of this pages don’t inherit the category/tags from the original post. So they behave like complete different pages which of course allows the other groups to see this.. The copies also don’t have any option to tag or categorize them on the pages.

    Thank you for your help. I didn’t think about to look at this taxonomies and compare.

    I will also describe this problem the plugin owner and maybe he could give me a solution or someone who is experience in editing plugins/extend them on this part..

    If someone else has some kind of idea I would be very grateful!
