Thanks for your help. I need a add a new permission that will be able to control users to upload data in the Data section (where the user has to click on the upload button to upload data) of geonode not in the maps section. I want to prevent everyone from uploading data to geonode in order to have data integrity. The system administrator will be the only one to upload data. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the upload button, it will be blocked and a message will tell them that he/she is unable to upload data. However, another way I thought of doing this is to add a permission to prevent users from uploading data in this section. Lastly, I have another idea, to code the login section of geonode: If the username = flower then allow user to upload data else do not allow user to upload data. I hope you understand what my problem is based on.
