Gaëlle Barbieri	Wednesday 06 April 2005 2:31:35 am Hello everybody... I'm testing Ez Publish for an intranet solution but i'm facing many difficulties to understand how roles and policies work... Can you help me to define roles for the following situations ? I have 2 forums : - Forum 1 - Forum 2 I have 4 users : - User 1 - User 2 - User 3 - User 4 - I want User 1 to have access to Forum 1 as a user but I don't want him to be able to read content of Forum 2 - I want User 2 to have access to both forums as a forum administrator on both - I want User 3 to have access to forum 1 as an user and to forum 2 as an administrator - I want User 4 to have access to forum 1 as an administrator but I don't want him to be able to read content of Forum 2 Can you help me ? It would be very useful if we could have a guideline on roles and policies on the website... Thank you, Gaëlle
Pierre Rigal	Wednesday 06 April 2005 2:51:10 am I'm not really sure of that but try this : Setup a section for each Forum like this : - Private Forum linked to forum#1 - Public Forum linked to forum#2 The modify the Forum user Role so that each existing policy are avalaible on section "Public Forum" Create a new Role called "Private Forum User", and create the same policies you have in the "Forum user" role. Dont forget to modify each one so that they will be avalable only on Private Forum section. Finally grant the "Forum role" to a user or a group of user and grant the "Private Forum role" to particulars users groups or users. Dont forget to grat both role to users you want to have acces to both section... Hope you understand my english... I'm french Pierre

Hello everybody...

I'm testing Ez Publish for an intranet solution but i'm facing many difficulties to understand how roles and policies work...

Can you help me to define roles for the following situations ?

I have 2 forums :
- Forum 1
- Forum 2

I have 4 users :
- User 1
- User 2
- User 3
- User 4

- I want User 1 to have access to Forum 1 as a user but I don't want him to be able to read content of Forum 2
- I want User 2 to have access to both forums as a forum administrator on both
- I want User 3 to have access to forum 1 as an user and to forum 2 as an administrator
- I want User 4 to have access to forum 1 as an administrator but I don't want him to be able to read content of Forum 2

Can you help me ?

It would be very useful if we could have a guideline on roles and policies on the website...

Thank you,

Gaëlle

I'm not really sure of that but try this :

Setup a section for each Forum like this :
- Private Forum linked to forum#1
- Public Forum linked to forum#2

The modify the Forum user Role so that each existing policy are avalaible on section "Public Forum"

Create a new Role called "Private Forum User", and create the same policies you have in the "Forum user" role. Dont forget to modify each one so that they will be avalable only on Private Forum section.

Finally grant the "Forum role" to a user or a group of user and grant the "Private Forum role" to particulars users groups or users.

Dont forget to grat both role to users you want to have acces to both section...

Hope you understand my english... I'm french
