| Sep 29, 2014 at 12:27 | comment | added | John John | So you think that hiding the Design link will not allow users to modify the design! and i want Designer users to see the Design link. so im this case i have to force my javaScript to check the user permission before hiding the link, which will lead me to another truble in sharepoint (i am 100% sure). really i can not understand how sharepoint works on certain areas,, i mean if users want to add web parts there should be a separate permission for this,, | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 12:22 | comment | added | Aanchal | No, there is no way to modify the "Add and Customize Pages" permission itself | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 12:21 | comment | added | Aanchal | This may be by design as it is. You add hide specific links on the sharepoint UI using javascript or somethig. | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 12:21 | comment | added | John John | so is there a way to modify the "Add and Customize Pages" permission itself ?? | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 12:19 | comment | added | John John | yes i know that, but if i want to allow users to add web parts , then i need to gran them the following permission "Add and Customize Pages" , and this permission will allow users to do extra functions i do not want them to do such as add site columns, delete site columns, change the site layout ,, which i do not want them to be able to do !! | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 10:44 | comment | added | Aanchal | You can do it either way, modify current permission level or create new permission level. | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 10:13 | comment | added | John John | also why Add/Remove personal web parts permission is not enough to allow users to add web parts,, seems this is a bug in sharepoint !!! what do u think ? | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 10:09 | comment | added | John John | but if i gave users "Add and Customize Pages" then they will be able to "edit the Web site using a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible editor. ",, which i want to avoid... so in other words if i want users to add web parts then they will be able also to edit the web site using Microsoft SharePoint foundation-compatible editor ??? | |
| Sep 29, 2014 at 10:07 | comment | added | John John | thanks for the reply, so i can edit the current contributor permission level and assign these permissions ? or i need to create a new permission level ? | |
