TDN Content View Access / too Much Access?

by Badguy · in Site Feedback · 12/28/2005 (12:16 pm) · 3 replies

Hmm Not 100% sure but, It seems once logged into TDN you can access any pages thru the
recent changes log.

in other words I can view areas of TDN i'm not licensed for (T2D/TSE)

so if anyone is editing those pages, you can just look at it thru the change log.

can anyone confirm this?

Actually it looks to me like only the Home page for a given topic (eg T2D) checks for access privelages.

i'm not T2D licensed,
but i can view specific T2D pages if i have a link to them.

.. such as the links you see in the changelog.

You can actually access almost any page directly. Just a few are protected right now. The change log does nothing more than make it obvious. :) On the todo list is adding some tools to make it easier to manage permissions for large numbers of pages, but right now Atlas is taking priority. ;)

Also, there's a nice TDN Forum area for these sorts of things. Please use it, I check it regularly!
