Restricting editing of non-template pages

The Non-template pages section of the Editing category in the Permission Group dialog box lets you specify what kinds of changes users can make to pages.

Note: These options apply only to pages that are not based on Macromedia Dreamweaver templates. A Dreamweaver template is a page created in Dreamweaver that has editable and noneditable regions. Dreamweaver templates apply their own restrictions and are not controlled by the following editing preferences.

Allow unrestricted editing lets users modify any page elements that Contribute supports. This includes editing text, editing tables, and inserting images.

Protect scripts and forms prevents users from deleting script tags, server-side includes, code tags (such as Macromedia ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, and PHP tags), form tags, and form elements.

This option is activated by default. Carefully consider whether the users editing your website’s content are experienced enough to modify code embedded in web pages. In general, tasks involving the modification of code and code tags are best left to web developers using Dreamweaver.

Only allow text editing and formatting specifies that users can only edit text, modify styles, and apply bullets or numbered lists. Users are not able to add or edit tables, images, or links, or delete server directives or plug-in content. Those tags are not editable.
