Issue

  • With Publications active, we want to prevent publication users from being able to make changes directly in production, we only want them to be able to change publications.

Environment

  • Quarterly Release 2023.q3

Resolution

  • To prevent a user from being able to publish in Production, it is required to activate the Sandbox Only mode:
1. Go to Applications Menu > Applications > Publications > Publications.
2. If Publications is already active, click on the three-dot menu (top right) and access the Publication's Settings.
3. Activate the Sandbox Only mode.
4. Users will need to close their active sessions (if any) and open new ones.
  • It is necessary that the role assigned to the publication users, for example, the out-of-the-box role Publications User, does not have the Work on Production permission configured.
