Disable / Hide fields in the content editor based on Roles

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

Hello,

I want to be able to disable fields on the content editor based on roles. For example an author should be able to edit all the fields for a Topic item except for the Topic name selected in the dropdown. Is it possible to disable this dropdown for all authors?

What you can do is hide the field from the Author Role. Add a Visibility Rule such as the following:

PSXUserContextRoles/RoleName NOT LIKE Author

For Members of the Author Role, this rule will evaluate to false, so the field will be hidden.

Note that the Roles/Rolename variable requires the LIKE/NOT LIKE operator, not the equals (=) operator.

That works, thanks. Is there a way to just disable the fields for Authors instead of hiding them?

Percussion CM System does not include any functionality for disabling fields. Hiding them or totally removing them are the only options available.
