'Clone all content types' Permission

Created on 20 February 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

In order to give a role permissions to clone all content types, every checkbox has to be checked. Then when a new content type is added, you need to remember to allow a role to be able to clone that content.

We have a use case where the 'Client Admin' role should always be able to clone content of any type.

Proposed resolution

Provide a new role 'clone all content'

Thanks!

    I added a permission 'clone _any content'. There is no equivalent 'create any content' permission. I want feedback from the community before completing the MR.

    Thanks @bluegeek9.

    True that there isnt a 'create any content' permission, but we do have:

    Bypass content access control
    Warning: Give to trusted roles only; this permission has security implications. View, edit and delete all content regardless of permission restrictions.

    So in the case you have a client managed website where they just have full access to create/delete/edit any content of any type, including new content types that may be created in future, you can assign this role.

    It seems to me like a valid use case to be able to give a role the option to just clone anything, without worry.

    Thanks
