Security and Permissions

Blog Entries and Comments

Unlike other community content, blog entries have slightly different permissions that cover add/edit/delete as well as email-in. Namely, other community members/moderators cannot edit or delete blog entries or comments. Blog content is the “voice of the creator”.

In the following, note that “member” also applies to “moderator”. A moderator has no special permission regarding community content.

  • May be public or private, based on community state or based on assignment to a specific resource
  • Public blog entries by staff/member/admin

Blog Comment

• Addable by anybody that can view the blog entry being commented on

• Viewable is inherited from the blog entry (the comment’s

  container)

• Editable and Deletable by creator/admin
