Users are not shown any templates

Hi @Tealk,

• Do users have view access to the original template page (if they go to it directly via link)?
• Do users see the template in the templates part of the sidebar toolbox when editing/creating a page?
• Is this the same if you create a new page within a book, and within a chapter of that book?

No, I thought I could hide the templates from the users so they wouldn't be confused by them.

@Tealk That'll be the issue then. You can instead add them to a permission limited book, but within a chapter that has view access (or specifically set permissions per-template), which should limit discoverability a little while allowing access to the template.

So I could create a book that only the administration can view and edit access, with templates with view access for everyone and then nobody could see the templates on the shelf?

@Tealk They'd still be able to see the original template pages via lists or search etc..., but they won't be discoverable by walking down the heirachy (looking into a book/shelf then navigating down etc...)

[Tealk]

I think that would be a compromise.

Alrighty, I'll therefore close this off since the reported behaviour is as expected and as described within the UI.
