Preview page without EPiServer CMS Editor rights

Vote:
 

Hi guys

We have currently a setup where we allow users to preview a page without it being published with all its assets that are stored in ContentAssetFolder.

The issue is currently that we can do a preview, but only if we access to the EPiServer CMS UI as an editor.

So I have a million Monopoly dollar question:

How can we grant access to the users that are authorized access to the page, but shouldn't have access to the EPiServer CMS UI?

Best regards

Miroslav

I assume you are using MVC. If so then you can register a filter provider that removes the access check for certain request (that is done by AuthorizeContentAttribute). You can see an example in ProjectFilterProvider in https://world.episerver.com/blogs/Mark-Hall/Dates/2016/11/anonymous-project-preview/
