Dirk, : As an addition: For stories, the permissions are "inherited" from the : topic the story is posted under.
This applies ONLY to anonymous or non story admins. My problem is that MOST of the time, I have various story admins submitting stuff (using HTML area), and they have no clue about the permissions settings. So the fact that not-very-relevant users inherit the Topics settings is fine, but not that helpful. All users outside of Root should inherit the Topic setting, I think (?) Or there should be SOME way to override these defaults for any user, including Root (via Groups, or Topic setting inheritance) admin/story.php : written by a (Story) Admin start with a default set of permissions that : is hard-coded in admin/story.php. Ok, so I searched through admin/story.php and admin/event.php for $perm_group $perm_anon I see it in function submitstory, function saveevent but I don't understand where/what to change to override default settings. Where are these default being pulled from. Do I change them here or in the MySQL table? Some line #s would help me, as I'm quite lost on this. Appreciate your help, I can move this to forums if more appropriate. =============================================== : I'd like to understand how to modify the default security settings for Event and Story Admins in: : EVENT.php and STORY.php : Default for Event Admin users is always: : Owner Group Members Anonymous : RE R R R : : I need to change it to be : RE RE R (NULL)
