Only Moderators Can Add/Edit the Global Board Calendar

[Nat Katin-Borland]

In the Global Board Calendar community, only community moderators should be able to add/edit/delete content. All other members should have read only access. It sound like this can be done in the current software, we just have to mess around with the permissions for that specific community.

Sorry I forgot to add that moderators editing all content is fine.

Tres did a little test on the security stuff, looks like something we could do immediately with no code changes. We just need to know if the "only moderators can edit" applies to all content that might be in the community or just the calendar.

It's a shame we can't squeeze in the "subscribe to calendar" thing.

Just keeping you in the loop:

• The Board Calendar (or Cooperate Calendar, depending on what we decide to call it) should be editable by community moderators ONLY. Members of the community will have read only access. I have already confirmed that this is something we can do under the current KARL security framework and this will not require any software changes, so that’s great news.

Nat, is this a community that already exists and you would like the change done now?

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

This community doesn't exist yet, but I'll be creating it next Month with staff from the President's Office, so I'll send around a link when we create it.

This is actually on Nat's plate, he needs to create the community first.

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

We have actually created the community: https://karl.soros.org/communities/board-meetings-calendar/view.html

We just haven't started adding members yet.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Nat, should I go ahead and work with you this week on getting the security settings correct? We can thus close this task while you are still getting the members added.

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

Sure, that's fine. No need to wait to get this into place.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Oops, I left this on Nat's plate when it should have gone back to mine.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Nat, I believe this community, in production, has been changed so that non-moderator members can only view. Give it a test and if I'm wrong, we'll re-open.

Yep, looks good!
