Have managed to set up permissions so that a user can edit a particular section. This part works as it triggers an edit button to appear on those pages for that user. However, when I go to the edit URL I get "Module Sections not available".
What am I missing??

Thanks in advance,
Chris

This is a response to a dated question, but maybe it will help some people in the future. I am on 0.7.6.4, and what I did to make this work was to list the sections I didn't want the group to modify with a read only permission, like this:

Code

SectionEditors      Sections::Article   :(Section 1|Section 2):     Read
SectionEditors      Menublock::     Main Menu:Section 3:    Read
SectionEditors      Sections::      .*      Edit


I then added a link to the specific section that I wanted them to be able to edit in the Main Menu block, and I also gave them Edit permissions for the Sections module. This allowed them to edit only Section 3, but they could read Section 1 & Section 2.

If there is another way (a better one) to do this, let me know... I didn't see the answer to this question in the forums, and after doing a lot of testing, this is what I came up with.
