Hello,

Excuse me for my bad english. I'm using Prosepoint for a few weeks, and it's a wonderful tool. However, I'm looking for the simpliest way to restrict stories publishing ability only to a specific role.

Can someone help a poor newbie ;) ???

Thank you

Visit permissions at .../admin/user/permissions

Hi,

Restricting publishing of stories is controlled by permissions at .../admin/user/permissions. Visit that page on your site, and look for the table rows with

  • create story content
  • edit own story content
  • delete own story content
  • edit any story content
  • delete any story content

The permissions you probably want to restrict are the first three listed above. The last two should be allowed for privileged users.

Hi, Actually i only checked

Hi,

Actually i only checked "create story content" doe identified users. But if i create a new account and try to create a new story, i can choose every status, even "Published" in the story's editor.

May I need an external module to do what I want (Allow identified users to create stories, but not to publish them : an editor has to publish them).

I misunderstood your original

I misunderstood your original question. I thought you wanted to restrict who could create stories, but it seems like you want to restrict who can set the status of stories to 'Published'.

Hmm... I don't think this is doable through the front end. You'll probably need some code added into the backend through a custom module of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any generic modules that will do this.
