User contributions security

The User contributions web parts use the following properties to configure their security options:

• Check permissions – if you select this option, appropriate permissions to read/modify/create/delete pages using the User contributions web parts need to be granted to the users. See Configuring permissions for more details on page permissions.

• Insert requires page type permission – indicates if page type permissions are required to create a new page.

• Allow insert/edit/delete – indicates if the web part displays the corresponding buttons.

• Allow editing by users – you can choose between:

  • All – any user who comes to a page that contains the web part can use it to edit the pages.
  • Authenticated – any authenticated user (site member) can edit the pages. You can use this value in combination with the NodeOwner = {%CurrentUser.UserID%} value in the WHERE condition property to display only pages created by the current user (to allow editing of these pages only for this user).
  • Page owner – only the owner of the parent page under which the user contribution pages are stored can edit them.
