Question

I am trying to create a role within Sitecore which can publish content, but only within a specific area(s) of the site. I’ve added the standard Sitecore\Client Publishing role to my role, but I can’t see how to prevent the role from being able to publish all areas of the site. I’ve looked at the Security editor and the Access viewer, but setting the write access of the sections only seems to affect the ability to edit those sections and has no effect on the ability to publish on those sections.

Answer 1

I had a similar situation once and I created roles per section which only had read and write to that section and no where else (let say ‘editor section 1’) and another role which only had publishing permission for that section (let say ‘publisher section 1’). Then added ‘editor section 1’ role to ‘publisher section 1’ role which gives you the role for publishing only specific section.
You do not need multiple workflows, same workflow with multiple roles can also achieve this goal
