I've started writing articles in Pages and would like to have other members write articles. What's the best way to give them permissions so that they can write articles? Can I have them write and see their own hidden articles but not mine, and can I be the only one allowed to unhide the article?

If your database has categories, you can make use of the following settings which are at the category level - "Set custom permissions" to ON, and "Users can see..." to OFF:

Could contain: Page, Text, File, Webpage

 

And then provide that group of people access to add records in a new category - they can crack on with creating their own articles, you can then move them to a different category once ready to go.

Just for the sake of completeness: the official solution is …

  • Turn on “Moderate new records” in the database settings
  • Assign an “author group” to the users
  • Change the database permissions to allow “add record” for this group
  • Recently Browsing   0 members

    • No registered users viewing this page.
