Gridbox Developer Tools Permissions

12 March 2020

We have finished with a brand new Balbooa Joomla Forms Builder 2.0 and even released a bug fix update. And now it's time to get back to improving the Joomla Website Builder Gridbox. So today we present you a new update that will allow preventing certain user roles from accessing Gridbox developer tools. Also, Gridbox 2.8.9 includes tons of bug fixes.

Developer Tools Permissions

Do you know the situation when a client changed site or theme settings and destroy the closely thought-out website design? Oh, it's very frustrating! In the Gridbox 2.8.9, we added access control for developer tools to prevent such incidents in the future. Now you can make Gridbox developer tools available for specific Joomla user groups.

Users without access to action Access Developer Tools will be denied access to the next tools:

• Site Settings
• Theme Settings
• Tools
• Page Blocks

You will find Gridbox permissions in the admin panel. To determine the permissions of user groups mouseover on icon "Option" and click "Permissions".

Other Permissions Changes and Fixes

Also, we made changes to existing permissions settings. Users without access to action Access Administration Interface will not be available menu items in Gridbox editor:

• Pages
• Add to Menu

Users without access to action Create will not be available menu item:

• New Page

Control access with improved Gridbox permissions and protect your site from unwelcome changes.

Conclusion

The new feature and fixes will prevent unnecessary changes and keep the site design clear and original. Developer Tools Permissions is the first part of Gridbox permission improvements. We plan to release new permission features that will allow you to control access from single pages to Gridbox Apps in a Joomla manner. Further - it is more!
