Non Admin users should not be able to remove redirect URLs

[russellshome]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

13.5.3

Bug summary

I want a group to be only able to publish under a particular page.

However, adding access to the Content section gives a user the ability to remove redirect URLs.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Make sure the site has one or more rows in Redirect URL Management
e.g. by publishing and then moving a page under a different page.

Add a Group with the following settings:
Access: Content
Allow access to all languages
Content start = any page
Permissions = browse, publish, update

Add a user in that group

Log in as that user
Go to Redirect URL Management
Click Remove on one or more redirect urls.

Expected result / actual result

There should be something to ensure that the user is not able to remove redirect URLs.

It shouldn't be the case the access to Content means that redirects can be managed/removed.

Hi there @russellshome!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Hi @russellshome,

Thanks for this 😄

At this time we do not have specific permissions to give access to redirect URL management. It is considered an editorial thing; if you can access the content section, you can manage redirect URLs.

I'm going to transfer this to the discussions section, as it is essentially a feature request. Let's see what the community thinks 🤩

Building this feature would entail introducing explicit permissions for redirect URL management.

Firstly, this is somewhat breaking, which means we likely will have issues introducing it in current versions.

Secondly, the permissions system in V13 and below is not as flexible as we'd like it to be. From V14 and onwards, we have much more flexibility and thus more options for building these kinds of things.

Workarounds do exist:

• In V13, dashboards can be overridden at server-side and thus become subject to custom access schemes. See https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/extending/dashboards#override-an-umbraco-dashboard
• In V14+, the same thing can be done with custom client-side extensions.
