Disable TYPO3 Backend for editors

Disable TYPO3 Backend for editors

Actually, the maintenance mode is almost old hat, and yet I'll list all the lines again for you to copy directly.

Nothing is more annoying than when something has to be done quickly and you can't find the darned instruction how to lock TYPO3 temporarily. Therefore to copy for you:

# Close for all backend users
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['adminOnly'] = -1;

# Only admins may login
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['adminOnly'] = 1;

# Only admins and CLI users may login
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['adminOnly'] = 2;

Hinweis: You can put this statement in typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php to prevent editors from logging into the backend.
