Mahesh Arvind	Wednesday 24 March 2004 2:50:54 am Hi, I am trying to use Add locations to copy an object from one section to another. I need to use a seperate user login to do this. I have given rights to the two above mentioned sections to the user. However, when I use add locations, the content is not published in the other section. I am able to do this using administrator login. I had tried giving administrator role to the user, but it didn't work. I guess there is something wrong with the workflow. In workflow, I am using Event Group Approval, for section A to the user. I have set the following in Event/Group approval "Approvers" User Name "Sections" I have given the two sections A & B. "Users without Approval" Administrator. Does anyone know what could be wrong here? Thanks & Regards Mahesh Thanks & Regards Mahesh
Mark Marsiglio	Thursday 25 March 2004 8:35:59 am The add locations function acts like it will let you add a location anywhere in the site. In reality, it will only publish a location in a section that you have edit/create control over. For instance, if you can only edit section 1, you cannot add a location in section 2. The interface will let you check the box, but it will not publish the location. If you select an additional location in section 1, it should publish. This prevents users from messing with sections that they do not have control over. I would recommend telling users that they need to ask an admin or webmaster to make this kind of change for them, or allow the users more control over the other sections. http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions
Mahesh Arvind	Thursday 25 March 2004 8:55:16 pm Hi Mark, What you were telling are right. But, I have given permissions to the user for both these sections. My situation is like this. We have all articles put up inside a folder. Each user maintains a section. The user can copy any articles which he wants from the article folder to his own section folder. I have given edit/create rights for the user for both these sections. However the articles do not get published in the other section. I have set the user as approver for section 1 which is his own section, and given edit/create rights for section 2, which is the articles folder. Thanks & Regards Mahesh Thanks & Regards Mahesh

Hi,

I am trying to use Add locations to copy an object from one section to another. I need to use a seperate user login to do this. I have given rights to the two above mentioned sections to the user. However, when I use add locations, the content is not published in the other section. I am able to do this using administrator login. I had tried giving administrator role to the user, but it didn't work.

I guess there is something wrong with the workflow. In workflow, I am using Event Group Approval, for section A to the user.

I have set the following in Event/Group approval

"Approvers"
User Name

"Sections"
I have given the two sections A & B.

"Users without Approval"
Administrator.

Does anyone know what could be wrong here?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Mark,

What you were telling are right. But, I have given permissions to the user for both these sections. My situation is like this. We have all articles put up inside a folder. Each user maintains a section. The user can copy any articles which he wants from the article folder to his own section folder. I have given edit/create rights for the user for both these sections. However the articles do not get published in the other section.
I have set the user as approver for section 1 which is his own section, and given edit/create rights for section 2, which is the articles folder.

Thanks & Regards
