Problem controllong template access

cliffhanger

hi,
I am having trouble controlling template access to particular user "role". I know if you want to allow only some user "role" to view the datatype you can add the following syntax to the templating.cfg:
<data-type name="weather" dcr-type="iwov">
<allowed>
<cred role="administrator"/>
</allowed>
...............
</data-type>

But how do I make it so that only the administrator doesn't have access to that datatype?
I tried doing the following, but it's giving me "XML tag not well-formed" error. Could somebody please help with the correct syntax to do so?
<allowed>
<not role="administrator"/>
</allowed>
Thanks

Try



<allowed>
  <not>
    <cred role="administrator"/>
  </not>
</allowed>

Current project: TS 5.5.2/6.1 W2K

Hi Dwayne,
I tried your suggestion, but it was still giving me the same error so I tried the following:

<allowed>
<not>
<cred role="administrator"/>
</not>
</allowed>
It no longer gives me syntax error, but when I log in as administrator I can view that datatype. Any suggestion?
Thanks a million!

That's what I get for using cut and paste. Oh, well.

Try this:


<allowed>
  <not> 
    <cred role="admin"/>
  </not>
</allowed>

administrator isn't a valid TeamSite role. admin is.

Can the same principle be applied to the presentation templates as well.

If I have two PTs, configured for 1 datatype, can I restrict the view of the PTs to specified users.

E.g

<data-type name="dct1" dcr-type="iwov">
<presentation>
<template name="PT.tpl" extension="html"/>

<template name="PT2.tpl" extension="html">
<allowed>
<not>
<or>;
<cred user="user1"/>
</or>
</not>
</allowed>
</template>
</presentation>
</data-type>

Thanks

According to the templating6.0.dtd - (and I believe this has not changed from previous templating.cfg DTD's) - the 'allowed' element is *only* a sub-element of data-type - and thus cannot be used to control access to / visibility of presentation templates. Sorry.
