Learn moreThe Resource Policy¶
This policy is packaged into MODX and is given to users on any context who want to have basic object access to content. The Permissions are generic and apply across all MODX objects.
Default Permissions¶
| Name |
|---|
| add_children |
| create |
| delete |
| list |
| load |
| move |
| publish |
| remove |
| save |
| steal_lock |
| undelete |
| unpublish |
| view |
Do not confuse Resource permissions publish / unpublish with Administrator/context permission publish_document. The manager publish checkbox, dates, tree actions, and publish processors gate on publish_document for the mgr context. Resource publish / unpublish alone will not open those controls. See ACLs: Manager publishing and multiple groups.
