Re: Is it possible to have a content and a portal admin

Hi Benjamin,

Excepted creating an event listener which would automatically 
reconfigure the ACLs permissions on menus, I only see one other (more 
complex) but more generic solution: adding a new user role in the 
admin center. So that the siteadmins would be able to manage a 
classical add role and another add page role + modify consequently 
the Jahia taglibs to ensure the proper checks. This is not difficult 
to add a new role (XML file to configure) however adding the check in 
the engine would be a little more tricy (globally if the definition 
of the current ctnlist include a page field = do not allow users 
which do not have such a role)
