Yes, we renamed "Owners" to "Authors" to make things more intuitive. Note that this group is not a real group of users where you can add/remove people to/from. This group represents the authors of posts in your application. For example, if you select that "Authors" can view, then users will be able to view their own posts (even if you mark the forum as private by disabling "Anyone" and "Authenticated" for that "Can_view" row).

I think I understand. If only Members can post, then any Member who has actually POSTED is in the Author group, and can make changes on his/her post only?  Thanks Hugo.

Do I still have to be both the author AND admin to change dates of posts? If so, this is somewhat problematic in our newspaper.

EDIT: I would rather not allow authors to edit name or description of applications.  Anyone else agree?
