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

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

The same as above, but you can decide who can submit Articles to which Category

Permission to Moderate Article within each Category

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

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.
