Default Contorl site access with Contribute.. Dreamweaver too?? - 09-12-2006 , 09:04 AM






I know I can control authoring access to my site using Contribute, and I
do. I'm wondering if it's also possible to add some level of security
for Dreamweaver users, so that certain users can only access certain
folder, and/or cannot delete or edit others??

While contribute works well for small and individual files, I'm finding
that any time my authors screw up, such as have a page using the same
image 100 times, which then gets turned into 100 different images by
Contribute, it's me that has to clean up after them.. and I'm kind busy
for that stuff. If I could give team leaders Dreamweaver to allow them
to clean up and mass delete some files, but still control which folders
they have access to, life would be easier for me.

Thanks

Kevin

DW assumes that the user knows what they are doing most of the time hence it
is open control. CT assumes the opposite, so the short answer is no.
