Adaptable theme - Frontpage ticker - edit news with non-admin rights

We'd like to enable a group of users to edit the front page ticker news on the site, without giving them admin rights. I searched through the forum, but could not find any relevant posts.

Is there a way to achieve this?

I doubt there is through the theme as you would have to get them rights to get to the admin settings to change it.  You could limit their admin rights to just the theme settings but they would be able to edit all of theme. 

You might look at adding a label to the front page with a ticker in it and then you could give edit rights directly from the label.  It would be a little trickier to edit though as it may well involve editing html but if you gave them explicit instructions...it might be an option.

Dear Emma,

thanks for your prompt reply and suggestion!
I tried to find sample HTML codes for the ticker function to create the suggested label, but I'm stuck. Could you orient me in the right direction?

I copied the Adaptable News Ticker's HTML and it works quite well in a course HTML Block.

<div id="ticker-wrap" class="clearfix container d-none d-lg-block">
    <div class="pull-left" id="ticker-announce">Course News</div>
    <ul id="ticker" style="display: none;">
        <p>Welcome to our online learning platform for 2023 <br></p>
        <p>We wish you all the best in 2023 and beyond...</p>
    </ul>
</div>

Such a great idea Emma. Thank you
