Permissions by catagory???

[sturmkatze]

Is this possible? I had thought it was, or was supposed to be. I cannot find it and am banging my head on my keyboard. I am off to work. If some kind soul can point me in the right direction for this (I couldn't find it in a search), I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!! ~Marsh

Marsh,

Are you talking about Article Categories, or something else?  What version of SMF?  What version of TinyPortal?  Can you please give us 3 examples of permissions that you want to change as I am not exactly sure of what it is you want to do?

Thanks,
ZarPrime

In TP (now beta 4), SMF 1.1.x

By Article category and membergroups. I want to have pages for this club I am in, and have it so that each member club can have 1-2 guys in their group who can edit only their article(s), but not anything else. I thought you could make it so this was possible, but I don't see how.

There are only permissions for editing articles. No permissions for categories other than read access.

YES, i want them to be able to edit JUST the articles in that category though... I suppose that won't work!? Any ideas how I can let people from like 20 clubs have access to JUST THEIR PAGES?

What kind of access? You can allow a person the permission to post/edit their own articles. You can't however choose which category they get to post them in. IMO that's the job of the Moderator or Admin to keep tabs on what categories things are organized into.

All I want to give the is access to edit their articles/page. One disgruntled (or really stupid person) person could cause a LOT of damage! I am not here 24/7 to babysit... guess I'll have to come up w/ something else--I just cannot give that many people permission to edit articles in general.

[IchBin]

You do not give them permission to edit all articles (manage articles). You give them permission to edit only "their" articles. These permissions already exist.

[sturmkatze]

and, here we go... I (or staff) set these club articles up for them. These people are not computer literate. So, now there's no way to make that work, right?!

Sorry Marsh, I'm not following.
