Item publish and unpublish configuration question

I'm trying to allow users the capability to only publish and unpublish their Item after it's approved.

In configuration I set:
"Items/Categories (inherited): edit state own"
But then the user get too much access, for example they can select waiting approval, in progress... ect. too much permissions.

Furthermore, the "Access" drop down field also displays. This allows them to change the view access which I don't want the users to be able to do.


My goal I just to have a group allowed to
1. publish and unpublish an item (only after it is approved)

2. The admin should be able to override and block an item even if its in a published state by the end user, it should take precedence


Is there an option for this?

Thanks!

Hello

about ACCESS level, you have not seen, but we have an ACL permission in our component configuration screen,

- so edit component configuration, go to permission TAB, find the desirable user-group, and dis-allow:
Items/Categories (Global Only): Set Access Level



-- about publication states, i think it is ok and proper because:

(frontend)
a. These are reserved for superAdmin (or for initial submission of non-publishers)
- Unpublished: Pending Approval
- Unpublished: Draft

b. The "archived" and "trashed" state are controlled by ACL permission, (archive by the ' Archives: -- manage -- ' ACL permission)
and the 'trashed' by the: core.delete, and core.delete.own

c. State "Published: in Progress" is allowed to all that can publish, i don't see a problem with this, but this state may not be desirable in some cases



- About:

publish and unpublish an item (only after it is approved)

do not give your users "edit" OR "edit.own" and any changes they make will require approval, "requiring approval only if some elements change" is not supported

Hi, I attached an image of my permissions configuration.


Within the Forms Item you can see it still shows the Access drop down.

On the Items list, the Action options display on all items even those not belonging to the item owner. So user1 can change the action of other user's items.

Thanks.

Hello

the "set access level" is fixed/used properly in

FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1901 BETA for J1.5

FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1901 BETA for J2.5/J3.x

if you want to use then please backup first, these are mostly stable but still BETA

Regards

Hi, I tried the beta and the "Access" drop down is fixed Thank you!



The image no longer displays within the Item list, however it displays in the item details page fine. I cleared cache, this only occurs on the item list page.


See screen capture

Thanks

"FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1901 BETA for J2.5/J3.x"
