Therefore we have changed how CMS permissions work. In v403 there are two linkages:
- If you grant any rights you have granted "view". I think it's fairly obvious that if you want someone to be able to, for example, download attachments that you meant them to be able to view the page.
- If you grant "Can Use HTML" you have also granted "create" rights. Again, if you meant for someone to be able to enter HTML in an article you must have meant them to be able to create the article.
Otherwise the rights are separate. So you could, for example, grant "publish" and "view" but nothing else. We also use javascript to display this relationship. So if, for example, you click "create" then the "view" list will be checked. If you uncheck "view" then all the other rights will uncheck.

I just realized, that though I have my CMS set to where only the Admin can publish an article, that once a promoted post is published, the original author of that post can then EDIT it in the CMS. How do I disable this to where only the Admin can edit or publish content?
The problem, in my eyes, is that this CMS publishing interface is too tricky for most folks, and I don't want someone editing their post and screwing up the HOME page of my site, because they didn't know what they were doing.
Is there already functionality built-in to vB for me to control edit permissions of promoted posts, or is that inherited from the usergroup forum post permissions, or??? I do want to let my users edit their posts in the forums, but absolutely not in the CMS. Often, they will be the same posts, promoted from the forums to the cms.
I need to ensure that I have control over the display of my cms and home page.
Please advise.
Thanks.
