Wagtail navigation through pages is not very intuitive. If you have users with permissions per page, it's better to set PageChooser root to their root pages and add a menu link to easily edit their root pages.
1. Create a function for checking user root:
app/helpers.py:
from wagtail.permission_policies.pages import PagePermissionPolicy from django.urls import reverse def get_root_page(user): root_page = PagePermissionPolicy().explorable_root_instance(user) # we can also get edit_url link and other things… root_page.edit_url = reverse('wagtailadmin_pages:edit', args=[root_page.id]) return root_page 2. Register a hook to set PageChooser to user root:
app/wagtail_hooks.py:
from wagtail import hooks from wagtail.admin.menu import MenuItem from app.helpers import get_root_page @hooks.register('construct_page_chooser_queryset') def show_my_pages_only(pages, request): print(vars(get_root_page(request.user))) pages = pages.descendant_of(get_root_page(request.user),inclusive=True) return pages 3. Register a hook to add menu item that allows to easily edit user root page (if his root is not main Wagtail Root):
app/wagtail_hooks.py:
@hooks.register('construct_main_menu') def change_menu_items(request, menu_items): # let's get root page root_page = get_root_page(request.user) # we can also exclude some menus exclude = [ "help", "reports", ] menu_items[:] = [item for item in menu_items if (item.name not in exclude) ] # now we add edit user root page menu item (if it's not main ROOT) if (root_page.id and root_page.id!=1): menu_items += [MenuItem('Main: '+root_page.title, root_page.edit_url, classnames='icon icon-home', order=-99999)]
