How to Manage Access Rights for SPEAK UI Application which is on Launchpad?

Question

I have created multiple apps in SPEAK UI and placed all quick access shortcuts on the Sitecore Launchpad.

Now, how can I restrict access for some applications while creating Users, because we have Content Area in Access Viewer?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways to do this. First you need to open the desktop and switch from the Master to the Core database.

If you just want to restrict access to the shortcuts on the Launchpad - you can do this by setting access rights on the shortcut items:

Create a role that should have access to the users and give that role Read access to the button item.

Another option would be to allow access to the application. If you look at the Path Analyzer you can see that some roles are denied and some granted access:

So add security rights to roles for your SPEAK apps.

Finally when you create users make sure you give them the correct roles to match what they are able to view.
