Dynamics Portals: Globally disable/hide content editor

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Member

Hello everyone,

we're desperately trying to globally disable or hide the small content editor window within our Dynamics customer portal:

So far we've only found some hints about using web roles and website access permissions, but no detailed documentation on how exactly this could be achieved. Maybe we got it all wrong, but why would any portal user or administrator edit static portal content in the first place? Shouldn't this be done entirely within the backend system (Dynamics 365)?

But even if there are reasons for displaying the content editor within the portal: this should obviously be restricted to a very limited number of users. As of now, all our users can see and use the editor, no matter which role they're assigned to.

I'll provide more information if needed, thanks in advance,

Tobi

You will want to inspect your Web Page Access Control Rules (advanced find or there is a link in the Portals area. I expect you will find that you have rule defined with Grant Change that has the Authenticated Users webrole associated to it. Simply delete the rule or modify the web roles to administrators or some other select roles of your choosing.

You will also want to check the Website Access Permissions, again reviewing the associated web roles.

Hello Tobi,

This content editor is displayed only to the contacts' portal who have assigned the "Portal Administrator" Web Role.

Create new web role for the normal users and assign it to them (docs.microsoft.com/.../create-web-roles).

Hope this helps!

Hi Tobi,

We can disable this content editor using web roles.Just create a separate web role then set authenticated User role as No & you can configure this web role to your particular users.

Thanks,

Jharana

Thanks for all the answers; unfortunately, nothing we've tried has worked. The editor is always available for everyone, regardless of his or her assigned role. Due to other important topics we've put this issue on hold; I'll get back here once we continue working on it.

Did you resolve this issue? Currently having the same problem. We tried everything including the above suggestions but it somehow still sneaks back up. Any ideas/solution?

We highly recommend users to migrate to PowerUsers community for new Portal questions:

powerusers.microsoft.com/.../PowerAppsPortals

------------

deactivating the web page control access should do the trick

if this doesn't work for you, please post a question in the Power Users forum, thanks
