How do I give users other than admin permission to read the Design folder and Template Look objects?

I've tried adding the following policies

 
content     read     Class( Template look ) 
content     read     Section( Standard , Media , Setup , Design) 
visual     all functions     No limitations

but I still get a "The system is unable to display the requested page because of security issues." error message.

Any ideas?

Can you explain more as to what you e trying to accomplish?  A multi-site / one installation approach?

Hi Brandon, it was me being stupid! The above policies would have worked but I was assigning the role with limitations (it was the standard editor role). Duh! Problem solved by the standard method of going away from it for a few hours and then looking again.

But having said that, I am wanting to have a system with multiple siteaccesses and a Template Look object for each one (so that they can have different logos). How might this be achieved?

Hi Andy,

I'm glad you were able to solve that.  :) I was going to suggest the default role/policy way but I didn't know if you were doing something exotic I never encountered.

That is an excellent question. Greg McAvoy-Jensen, the Executive Director here at Granite Horizon, wrote a tutorial for how to do just that!

Check it out!  :)

Yes, that is an excellent tutorial. I feel his section on multiple language multiple siteaccess Exponential setups could be improved with some information on how to switch between language versions. With 2 content trees, each with 2 language versions (so 5 siteaccesses in total including an admin backend) the switchlanguage operator seems to get confused and ends up redirecting to example.com! Somehow it must be reading from the default site.ini, but I can't see how. Everything else works fine.
