As Admin I made a user Editor (WP), set up restrictions for all pages on the site (RS), and set up the user as Page Editor (RS) for a specific page. The Editor can edit that page, create sub-pages and set up other users as Page Editors (RS).

The Editor can ask someone to register and then set up that user as Page Editor for the specific page. That user is a Subsciber by default (WP) and can edit the page, but cannot create new sub-pages. To do this the Subsriber (WP) must be set up as Editor (WP), but only admin can do this.

Can I set up Role Scoper so that someone with permission to edit a specific page and create sub-pages can give another user permission to also edit and create sub-pages? I go to Page Editor under Role Scoper Options but the option "Create Child Pages" cannot be activated.

Let me know if you don't understand..

Oki thanks,

Can I (admin) give an Editor permission to add "edit_pages" and "edit_published_pages" to a specific Subscribers role, or give the Editor permission to make a Subscriber Editor?

I created a new role scoper group, added Page Author to this group and added Group Manager to the Editor user.

Now the editor for a page can give a subsciber permission to edit the page AND create/edit sub-pages.

Role scoper is great!

Ah, good idea. If you give your custom group a General Role of Page Author and Page Editor roles for specific pages, then any manager of that group can upgrade a user in one swipe by adding them to the custom group. Since non-Administrators can be made Group Managers, your Editors can be granted all the power and convenience they need. Why didn't I think of that? For once, Role Scoper's many-ways-to-skin-a-cat proves more virtuous than annoying

I'm not sure if you want members of this page-editing group to have edit rights on subpages. If so, be sure to assign the Page Editor roles for both page and subpages (both checkboxes in the Edit Page form, or "assign for both" in the bulk Roles > Pages form).

I resinstalled role scoper and reseted all settings.

I'm trying to setup roles scoper as before: So that an editor for a page can give a subscriber permission to edit that page and create sub-pages. But I'm running into some problems.

This is what I do:

1. Setup restrictions on all pages and sub-pages under Restriction/Pages (role scoper)
2. Create user1 and make Editor (wordpress)
3. Make user1 Page editor under Roles/Pages (role scoper) for a pageX and subpages.

Now user1 can edit pages and sub-pages. But can't publish sub-pages under pageX without moderation by admin. If I deactivate Roles Scoper user1 can publish sub-pages.

How can I give user1 that is Editor permission to publish sub-pages without moderation?

In my trial, the first attempt results in a submission, but then if you click the publish button it works.

There is a technical complication in the filtering process, needing to validate the publication status before the page parent relationship is actually stored. I may or may not be able to smooth it out to a one-click process.

Okay, I've developed a fix for this. Based on my own testing, non-Editors (including WP Subscribers) with a General Role of Page Author can now publish new pages with one click of the Publish button.

This is available in the updated Role Scoper development snapshot (for manual download and installation), and in the next regular release (automatic update).
