Page Move restriction by role

Does anyone know if we can restrict restructuring of pages by moving them in the channel tree by role ( e.g. administrators yes, editors no), more specifically the client wants the editors to be able to restructure news articles so that they appear correctly in feeds but not move items from one place to another in the site structure and definitely not reorder any top level items that may impact automatic site structure. This doesnt appear to be available in the page permissions currently.

You can limit permissions across the pages in the tree, as noted in the docs:

The system doesn’t provide a dedicated page permission for moving pages. Instead, users need to have the following permissions granted to move a page:

  • Read and Update for the page they want to move (source location). The users also need to have these permissions for all the children of the page.
  • Create page permission on the page’s new parent (target location).

So, you can:

  1. Limit the ability to create pages at the top level of the page tree (under the root) and treat this as a much more restricted area of content management.
  2. Use allowed page content types and scopes to limit where specific types of pages can go. Once the page tree structure is created, lock down the allowed content types and scopes, completely removing the ability to move specific types of pages under most parent pages.

This might not give you the precise control you are hoping for, but it should improve the content governance experience.
