# 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

![](https://3459024074-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk7DX-UYq6g3eGVq%2F-LD6MxVaV89bbRv61WGD%2F-LD6N-9rumHs-o5nNUgs%2Fperm1.jpg?generation=1526984608361232\&alt=media) 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

![](https://3459024074-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk7DX-UYq6g3eGVq%2F-LD6MxVaV89bbRv61WGD%2F-LD6N-9u3l8T_yhq0Uno%2Fperm2.jpg?generation=1526984608332019\&alt=media) The same as above, but you can decide who can submit Articles to which Category

## Permission to Moderate Article within each 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

![](https://3459024074-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk7DX-UYq6g3eGVq%2F-LD6MxVaV89bbRv61WGD%2F-LD6N-9yoOeJlNjnooSd%2Fperm4.jpg?generation=1526984608354465\&alt=media)

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.
