The Path Access module gives site administrators an additional layer of access
control to all pages of a Backdrop CMS site. It allows roles to either deny or
allow certain paths or patterns of paths.
Benefits
Although a lot of Backdrop CMS modules provide some degree of access control
permissions it never covers all possible requirements users have. Path Access
provides the means to restrict pages based on their path alias - meaning you
can lock out certain user role groups from whole sections of a site using
wildcards.
Requirements
This module requires that the following modules are also enabled:
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at
https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/extend-with-modules. - Navigate to Admin > Configuration > User Accounts > Path Access
(admin/config/people/path-access/) to define the settings for each role. - Configuring the module requires the "Administer permissions" permission.
