# 4.4 Permissions

This tab shows detailed permissions for various aspects of Publisher.

There are several key sections for Permissions to:

* View Categories
* Submit Articles
* Moderate Article within each Category
* use special extra fields as a submitter
* use specific Text Editors provided by XOOPS
* search and rate articles

Let's discuss these sections in more detail:

## Permission to View Categories

![](/files/-LD6N-9rumHs-o5nNUgs) You have listed here ALL categories and sub-categories, and ALL groups of users. You can then select which group can see which category.

For example, you could create a private group for paid subscribers interested in Antiques, and only they could see a specific Category dedicated to Antques.

## Permission to Submit Articles

![](/files/-LD6N-9u3l8T_yhq0Uno) The same as above, but you can decide who can submit Articles to which Category

## Permission to Moderate Article within each Category

![](/files/-LD6N-9wVeLJZ29d6vDU) Here you can decide which Group can moderate which Category.

For example, for the Subcategory1 you can create a special Category called "Sub1-Moderators" and assign specific users to moderate it.

## Permission to use special extra fields as a submitter

![](/files/-LD6N-9yoOeJlNjnooSd)

These are extra fields that can be made available to specific group. Please view the image below: this is the Article submission form **without** any of these special: fields.

If you compare it to the images shown in the Articles section, this is a huge difference!

Below is more info about the individual fields. Please test them, so you feel more comfortable, and can make a better decision which ones are the most appropriate for your Blog or News.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://xoops.gitbook.io/publisher-tutorial/4.0-operating-instructions/4.4-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
