[TYPO3-english] more complex frontend editing configuration

[Katja Lampela]

hi,

I'm creating a site where there are admin-only editable columns (header 
and footer areas) that are inhereted to subpages. These header and 
footer columns are situated in the root of the site, and this root page 
can only be edited by the site admin.

The frontend editing shows these columns/content elements within it as 
editable also - the backend user sees the edit icons. He/she can't save 
the editing, but the icons are there. And when using Aloha these areas 
are surrounded with the yellow edit border.

This is of course very confusing looking. I would want to show with edit 
icons only the elements that really are editable for that backend user. 
So two questions:

1. Is it normal behaviour that the edit icons are visible, even though 
the backend user is not allowed to edit the element in question? Or is 
it my insufficient configuration?

2. Is it possible to disable editing of some columns in a page from a 
backend user/group? I want some columns to be editable for some groups 
and some columns editable for other groups within same page, possible?
