Assigning Registered Permissions
A registered user is a user who has completed the registration process and logged in. Remember, you created a registered user earlier. Users in the Registered group will automatically inherit the permissions you assigned to the Anonymous group (read-only permissions for each feature). Now you can give Registered users permission to create and edit content.
- Log in as the Administrator and access the Admin Groups page. Click the List tab.
Tip
You can also access the Admin Groups page by clicking the Groups in the Quick Admin area. - In the List of Existing Groups area of the Admin Groups page, click Permissions for the Registered group.
- On the Assign Permissions to Global page, notice that some permissions (such as tiki_p_blog_read) are already selected.
Do you remember how you assigned permissions for the Anonymous group, earlier? Use the same procedure to add the following permissions to the Registered group:
| Feature | Permission | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Blog | tiki_p_create_blogs | Registered users can start their own blog. |
| tiki_p_blog_post | Registered will be able to post items in their blog (or other blogs, if the blog's creator allows it). | |
| Articles | tiki_p_autoapprove_submission | Articles submitted by Registered users will automatically become "live." |
| Comments | tiki_p_post_comments | Allows Registered users to post comments posted by other users. |
| File Galleries | tiki_p_upload_files | Allows Registered users to upload files and images to an existing gallery. |
| Forums | tiki_p_forum_post | Allows Registered users to post replies in the forum. |
| tiki_p_forum_post_topic | Allows Registered users to post new topics (start a new thread) in the forum. |
Log out as the admin and log back in, using the registered username that you created previously. Registered users (just like Anonymous users) can see all the features on your Home Page.
However, Registered users have some additional options available. For example, expand the Blogs menu.
Because registered users have permission to create blogs and posts, the additional menu options are available.
As the Registered user, explore each feature.
