Default Security Rights for New Publications

When you create a new publication, Tridion applies some sensible default rights for the built in groups like Editor and Chief Editor. We built our security model on top of these default groups, so when we create new publications, the only configuration we have to do with regards to authorization is to alter the group scope to include the new publications.



The exception to this seems to be rights for optional modules like Translation Manager. It seems like we always have to manually add this right to the required groups for each new publication, which is is bit of a pain.



Looking at the docs, this does not seem possible, but I thought I would check anyway: Is there some way to also define defaults for these additional rights which come from optional modules so we don't have to keep doing this? We are using SDL Web Cloud (8.6)

          Not that I know of.

          You could utilize the Event System system to set these right. The way to do it is through the Repository.AccessControlList property.

          • Yep, I agree with you probably having to do this through the Events System. Rights for the additional modules (Translation, etc.) tends to be done through App Data on the Publication, rather than the normal Publication properties though, so you'll have to do some XML creation/manipulation.

          • Good point on the App Data, totally slipped my mind (I remember schema fields' translatable options also being set in App Data)

          In the past, we worked with a client on a simple GUI to select 'default' and then options to override them (if you were a member of a specific user group) - all interacting through the Core Service obviously.



          You'll not be far wrong looking at the Powershell modules as a starter.

            In the past, we worked with a client on a simple GUI to select 'default' and then options to override them (if you were a member of a specific user group) - all interacting through the Core Service obviously.
