Static HTML Content Block for all roles

[Lisa Baremore]

Hello!

Is there a way I can open up the use of the Static HTML Content Block for users with certain roles or all users with the itil role? Is there a property I can set for this somewhere? Now that we upgraded to Jakarta and all users can create and use dashboards, we are getting a lot of requests for this type of functionality.

Thanks!

So actually, I needed to add ACLs for create, read and write in order to implement this where I work today.

Objective: Provide the ability for users with certain roles to create and update New Static HTML content blocks without giving them the role content_admin. In my use case, I am providing this to the roles report_creator and pa_power_user.

Solution: Add Create, Read and Write ACLs that include all 3 roles on the table content_block_static

All of these ACLs contain all 3 roles (report_creator, pa_power_user, content_admin)

Hi @Lisa Baremore ,

Does the above still work for you? We have the same requirement, and I have created the the same ACLs with a new role called "content_block_editor". The user with this role can edit the Static HTML widget if it is already on the dashboard, however they can't add the widget to the dashboard by themselves as "Content Blocks" doesn't show under the "Widget Category" drop-down.

I appreciate your post is from some time ago, so I am curious as to whether the functionality has changed and if this no longer works.
