Access to article list
|
Can't Post

I'm getting some feedback from users regarding saving and modifying articles. I have our contributors set up with 'Writer' access so they can only submit articles as 'Pending', however this is an issue because they can't view a list of articles or change the article. Is it possible to restrict 'Trusted Writers' to only allow them to submit as 'Pending'?
Is there any discussion for future releases making it possible for 'Writers' to save an article they are working on and not submit the article. This seems to be a huge oversight. A user should be able to save as they go or revisit an article if they realize they made an error.
If I'm missing a set up option somewhere, please let me know. 
Thanks

Hi synopsys,
Thanks for your post!
Right now there isn't really any way to set up Trusted Writers so that they can only submit articles with a "pending" status. Other users have requested that "Writer" accounts be given the ability to revise their articles, and his feature is on our request list, so it may become available in future versions of the software.
Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi,
I'd like to add my support for the modifying of the Writers / Trusted Writers user types - I have used AM2 for a couple of schools' websites, and very successful it has been too.
However, when the school wants to turn over the running of a section such as Student Council to the students themselves, they want to give them access to the full range of articles in the section (as per Editor status) - apart from publishing to the website, which is under admin control.
AM2 is a great tool for use in this area, but this really is a limitation...
