User can't add internal page link to a page they don't have access to

Questions

Not sure if this is a bug or there is a setting somewhere but if a user has access to edit a limited amount of pages and wants to add an internal page link from within the editor, they cannot choose a page they don’t have access to.

Is this a bug or is there a workaround ?

Using UMBRACO 13

Thanks

If I recall correctly, there should be a configuration option on the picker property editor, called “Ignore User Start Nodes”, which will allow the user to chose any node.

If there is then I cannot find it. Also this issue is with adding a link within the rich text editor.

EDIT: According to the umbraco documentation there should be a “Ignore User Start Nodes” option in the rich text editor. But I don’t see that option. Is there a reason for this ?

Huh, yea I’ve just looked on a clean v13 site and there is definitely no “ignore user start nodes” option on the Rich Text Editor config, even though the docs say there should be.

I’ve also just checked one of my v8 sites, and lo and behold, the option is there!
So it looks like this option has disappeared at some point between v8 and v13…

I found this issue on Umbraco’s GitHub for this exact issue, but it was closed as stale…
RTE datatype - ignore user start node option is missing on default pre-installed RTE. · Issue #9697 · umbraco/Umbraco-CMS
it seems the option is missing on the default shipped RTE Property Editor, but if you manually create a new one, it will appear.

Ok, thanks. I have no idea how to manually create a new property editor but will have a look into it when I get time.

I’ve just recorded a short video showing how to create a new RTE Data Type with the “Ignore User Start Nodes” option:

I hope that helps :slight_smile:

Thanks Owain, perfect.

I actually thought you meant to somehow create a completely new plugin, but that was much easier.

Created a new one and all works as expected.

Thanks
