Current Revision posted to Telligent Community 6 by Jenny Jarrard on 10/9/2012 2:08:42 PM
The Site - Access Web Services and Group - Access Group Homepage permissions were removed in this release.
Permissions can be granted to site-wide and group roles to control access to each area of the community.
This document describes what each permission, if granted to a role, allows anyone in that role to do. Permissions are grouped into six categories:
Site
To assign these permissions, navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Membership Administration > Members and Roles > Manage Site Roles > [role name].
| Permissions | Database ID | If granted to a role which includes a user, the user can: |
| Site - Contact Members | Site_ContactMembers | |
| Site - Feature Content | Site_FeatureContent | Flag a blog post, forum post, media gallery file, or wiki page as featured content displayed in the Featured Content widget, typically on the main home page and on group home pages. |
| Site - Hide Ads | Site_HideAds | Not see advertisements. If not granted, that user can see advertisements and manage advertisement settings. |
| Site - Impersonate Users | Site_ImpersonateUser | Impersonate another user both through the site and through Web Services as if they were logged in as that user. We recommend that you be very careful who you grant this permission to - it's typically limited to only the Administrators role. |
| Site - Manage Content | Site_ManageContent | Manage site articles. |
| Site - Manage Content Pages | Site_ManageCustomPage | Allows a user to add, edit, and delete custom pages within the context of a site. |

You can also control the widgets available to users to include on this page. |
| Site - Edit Site Theme | Site_ModifyTheme | Modify theme pages, import/export theme configuration, and view disabled widgets. Typically only granted to the Administrators and group Owners roles. |
