Users, Groups and Permissions

Posted by Hugo <Nabble> Hugo <Nabble>
Options
IMPORTANT: If you use permissions, you will have to set them up again.  The old members and administrators were converted to temporary groups and the old permissions were not converted at all.  So you should reorganize your groups and then set permissions in your app (e.g., forum, blog, gallery).

Nabble has improved how users, groups and permissions work. Here is a summary:



(1) Now you can create as many user groups as you want. All apps come with four default groups:

    Anyone: All users belong to this group, including unregistered users.
    Authenticated: Users whose email is available in the database. Basically, registered users and people who posted to mailing lists (archives only).
    Members: Default group. You should define the permissions for this group.
    Administrators: Users with special privileges that can control your application.

(2) For each user, you can select which groups he/she participates. This option is available in the user profile page:



(3) You can organize groups and users by clicking on "Options > Users > Manage users & groups". Each group has a textarea with users and you can add and remove them according to your goals. To remove a group, just remove all users from it and save the changes ("members" and "administrators" are fixed groups and thus cannot be removed).



(4) You can configure what each group can do by clicking on "Options > Users > Change permissions". You can override these settings in subcategories (e.g., sub-forums).

Re: Date changing in newspaper.

The permission to change the date of a post had a bug, sorry for the confusion. We just released the latest code and it should work now. Please let me know if you still have issues.

This is not working for us.

I've been experiencing this issue also. I am an admin, but not the creator. The creator has the option, and we've double checked permissions and groups.

Is this a temporary bug, or something in development? (We're on n3, if it matters).

I believe all is well. I can't exactly remember to what I was referring?
