Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
JeffreyNichols Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Hello I have a user who is part of a group with over 30 accounts. I want to allow all users to edit their content EXCEPT one user. I couldn't find a setting to prohibit one user account from editing their own posts. Is there a way to prohibit one specific user from editing their posts? If not, my assumption is this can only be done as a group setting and I could create a new group with that restriction and assign the user to that group. I didn't want to do this as other users may realize that one account is separate. Is it possible to create another group with this restriction and assign it as a secondary group? I wasn't sure if the primary group setting to edit would override a secondary group setting to prohibit that. If nothing is feasible from above, I thought about turning on full edit log capability. The question I have there is - who can view that edit log information? Is it shown on each post that is edited, or by an admin only? Thanks
Jim M Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 In order to perform this, you would need to move the user to a new primary group. Simply adding this as a secondary group will not prevent them from editing due to the permission hierarchy. 12 minutes ago, JeffreyNichols said: The question I have there is - who can view that edit log information? This is defined in ACP -> System -> Posting:
JeffreyNichols Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks. I turned on the edit logs. I do wish there was a way to restrict a specific user rather than doing a new group.
