How much can the editorial interface be restricted?

Vote:

How "sanitized" can I make the editorial interface? I want employees to be able to create/edit pages on a company intranet. To do this...

They can't have access to the content tree
They can't have access to blocks
They can't add or manipulate any gadgets in the sidebars
They should only be able to upoad images to "this page"
etc.

Essentially, can I lock down the editorial interface to a very narrow range of options, so they can create a page, edit it, and add some files? Or do I need to create a custom interface for this?

Hi,

In EPiServer 6 there was a thing called Content Guide (if I remember correctly), and that was basically what you're describing.

In 7 and later you have to develop a custom interface. You also have to use your own version of Tinymce, I've read somewhere that the one EPiServer ships won't work outside EPiServer. I would use a very locked down version of Tiny and then have dedicated upload fields for images and files instead.

Yeah, that's where I'm heading, but I find myself re-building thing after thing -- image uploads, image insertion, hyperlink dialog, etc. It's a little tiring, and I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better option for it.

Thanks.
