Permissions - How to modify

2

Ive read the books and seem to be missing some key info.  Can someone direct me on info on how to change what actual information people can view when they log in?  For instance, I want something that may be "Staff-Like" but without the ability to add new family members.  Where can I turn on and off those features?


Thanks, in advance!

    Yeah, you won't find that in the manuals... it's kind of an advanced topic that you figure out with the help of others ;-) So, if you want to remove the ability of Staff-Like role to edit people, you'll need to modify the Person Entity rights. Go to Admin | Security | Entity Administration and scroll down to Rock.Model.Person entity, then click its lock icon. Now click the edit tab and you should see a screen similar to this. You will want to ADD a new right for Staff-Like Role and make it DENY edit rights to the entity. Note your rights won't look exactly like mine... we took edit away from both staff roles and created a new Add/Edit Person role with only a subset of staff in it.

    Thanks for your response.  I was able to find the section under 'Admin>Security>Entity Administration' and made the change you mentioned.  (However I didn't need to add "Staff Like" because it was already there under "Edit"...butI did switch it to "Deny".  I logged in with the user who has ONLY the security access for "Staff Like" and they are still able to access the "Add Family" options.  Any other suggestions?
