Select Secure Zones with permissions to access front end edit forms for modules and webapps.
Matt Jones
We currently have "anyone can edit" or owner/creator can edit as options.
More commonly, a requirement would be that only members of a trusted Secure Zone would be allowed to edit front end.
Could we add a third option to modules/ webapps in Siteglide Admin, allowing us to officially set an array of secure zone ids which can access each webapp/module edit forms when logged in?
While this is possible already with custom code, adding built in support will be convenient and allow SiteBuilder support.

You can already put items in Secure Zones. Is that not enough, as the item (and thus the form) would only show if the user is logged in to that SZ?

I don't think so, as read and write permissions would normally be different.
E.g. most of the reason for wanting to control edit access would be to make sure the quality of public-facing content was good, so in that case you'd want to have items displaying front end to a wider audience than you would want to give permission to edit. With your solution, if you added an item to a secure zone to restrict editing, it would disappear from public view.
You could add another secure zone field per item for edit access instead of globally for the webapp/ module. That's a possible choice.
