How to allow or deny Cornerstone permissions based on roles?

Support
#1

I want to be able to allow/deny permissions (ADD / DELETE / EDIT an element) in Cornerstone based on roles (Admin / Editor / Author…).
In detail: I want to allow ADD, EDIT, and DELETE (blocks or elements) for Admins only, and allow only EDIT for Editors.
Is there a WordPress hook provided that I can use to call an action or a filter to accomplish this?

This question is really important as the answer will determine my decision whether or not to continue using Cornerstone as a Wordpress page builder (I’m a loyal user with over 50 X-licenses).
I just want my end-users to be able to fully edit their content (in Cornerstone) without being able to mess up the building blocks by adding or deleting elements.

Thank you.

Hello @brns,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, as of now Element level permissions is not available in Cornerstone. I can take it as a feature request and will add into our issue tracker.

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for your response.
Could this at least (as a temporary measure) be accomplished by adding Admin-side css? I’ve tried to hide Duplicate/Delete/add buttons in CSS based on the current user’s role, but this had no effect.
Someone else having suggestions?

Hi there,

At the moment you can not have that functionality and there is no temporary solution, unfortunately. The only access right that you have is the whole Cornerstone to be available or not depending on the User Role which you can set from X > Cornerstone menu:

Thank you.

one of my writers is missing the ability to use pro. Pro appears in his toolbar but options like content and theme options are missing. edit with pro is also missing on posts both new and existing. He’s the only only one. Others are fine.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating this thread. Please make sure that your user is allowed to edit a page. By default, edit in Pro link is only available to administrator. If you want to allow your editor or contributor to edit a page, please add their roles in X > Cornerstone > Content Roles.

Hope this helps.
