      Hello,

      Before posting I have tried Google-it without luck. I have searched your forum but no info about my request. Can I add a user with read only access for the WebGUI? I saw that I can give access to different menus and/or sub-menus but nothing for all menus/sub-menus with read only access.

      I would appreciate any answer.

      PS. If you are wondering why there are two reasons: first is to give access to someone more experienced than me and that one would give me a helping hand without the "power" to change anything and the second is to let others see how and what I have setup again without the write access.

      Thank you
      Catalin

        not in 1.2.3, it is in 2.0

          No, nothing yet, not even in 2.0.  The closest thing is to only give access to pages that have no settings to modify.

            I thought that was on the roadmap? is it just that it has not yet been implemented?

              Per-page permissions are there, but not "read only users" that can look but not touch. There's no code around for that that I'm aware of.
