Want this feature?
Content Lock is a CV ecommerce multisite content management feature. It can also be used to restrict content editing to specific roles on a single site. Contact Commerce Vision to enable.
Requires: 2022:3.
How Content Lock Works
Content Lock provides the Administrator and/or Content Administrator roles with content control:
- on a single site - lock/unlock specific content from other roles
- on multiple sites - lock/unlock specific content of target sites remotely from a source site (when used with Deploy Content).
Role-based permissions
Content Administrator role: When Content Lock is enabled on your site, this role becomes availlable.
- The Content Administrator role can:
- on a single or source site: lock and unlock data types and items
- on a single or source site: add, edit and delete locked objects
- on a target site: control what locked content is deployed to networked target sites (if Deploy Content is used with Lock Content)
- on a target site: unlock deployed content for editing (if Deploy Content is used with Lock Content)
NOTE - The CMS Administrator role as superuser has all Content Admin permissions by default.
Enable Content Lock
This must be enabled by Commerce Vision.
To enable/disable locking:
- In the CMS, go to Settings → Settings → Feature Management → Content → Content Lock.
- Toggle ON/OFF Content Lock.
Assign Roles
With Content Lock enabled, a CMS Administrator can assign the Content Administrator role to specific users who are to manage content locking. Other users will be able to view but not edit locked content. NOTE - Non-admin users cannot view widget contents when the widget or template is locked.
