Setting Talk Permissions in the Edit mode

Once you have entered the first comment, click the Restrict link.

You are prompted to specify users or user groups that can view and comment your talk. Just start typing names of users or user groups, and select the appropriate entries from the matching results.

To restrict viewing a specific discussion to a list of users and/or user groups do the following:

  1. Start a discussion as described in Getting Started. In case you want to change permissions for an existing discussion, skip this step.
  2. Click the lock icon in the discussion cloud. You will see a list of users who can view this discussion (empty for a new discussion if not specified otherwise for the space, see below for details).
  3. Type name of a user and/or user group to enable viewing this discussion for them. Click Apply.
  4. If you need to add more users/user groups, repeat step 3.
  5. To delete a user/user group from a list, click Image Added next to their name.

Setting Talk Permissions in the Edit mode

  1. Start a discussion as described in Starting a New Discussion (from text editor). In case you want to change permissions for an existing discussion, skip this step.С
  2. In the macro window, click Restrict.
  3. Go through steps 3-5 described in Setting Talk Permissions in the View mode above.

Info

Access to talks is defined by complex factors and is based mainly on the following principles:

  • If the user can only view the page, so he/she is allowed only to view the talk on this page without an ability to edit it.
  • If the talk has restrictions, so only the users and/or user groups on the restrictions list can access the talk.
  • All users, who are allowed to view and edit the talk, can change its viewing restrictions.
  • The space administrator cannot access the talk, if he/she is not on the restrictions list.

For the details on permissions for viewing and editing talks, see the diagram displayed below.
