UserTSconfig

New in version 2.1.0

You can disable the frontend editing feature for specific backend users or backend user groups via UserTSconfig.

When disabled via UserTSconfig, the entire frontend editing feature is hidden — including the sticky toolbar. The user cannot re-enable it via the toggle button.

This is useful for restricting frontend editing to certain editor groups while keeping other backend users unaffected.

Note

This setting is different from the per-user toggle in the sticky toolbar. The toggle allows users to temporarily hide the editing UI themselves. The UserTSconfig setting is an administrative control that completely prevents access to the feature.

Disable frontend editing

tx_ximatypo3frontendedit.disabled

type: bool
Default: false

Set to 1 to disable frontend editing for the affected backend users.

tx_ximatypo3frontendedit.disabled = 1

By default, frontend editing is enabled for all backend users.

Examples

Disable for a specific backend user group

In the TSconfig field of a backend user group record:

tx_ximatypo3frontendedit.disabled = 1

All users in this group will no longer see the frontend editing UI.

Disable for a specific backend user

In the TSconfig field of a backend user record:

tx_ximatypo3frontendedit.disabled = 1

Disable globally via Page TSconfig

You can also set this in Page TSconfig (e.g. via Configuration/page.tsconfig), which will then apply to all backend users on the affected pages. However, UserTSconfig is recommended as it targets users directly regardless of which page they visit.
