The thinking behind this is that you should not be able to edit an article (even if you originally wrote it and/or are the current owner) unless you have edit permissions for the topic as well. This allows a site Admin to restrict certain types of access to a given topic. Granted, this is not the simplest thing to understand and it perhaps should be rethought. However, since its been this way for several major releases now I don't think it will be changed unless there is an over riding reason to do so.
This is not a security hole because you need read/edit for *both* the article you want to edit and the topic that it is in. Again, it just allows the Geeklog admin a much finer level of control. The best way to learn about Geeklog permissions (especially in these sorts of weird circumstances) is to try things out and see how things react. -Vinny ----- Original Message ----- From: Philip Peake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 17:20:22 -0700 Subject: Re: [geeklog-users] Problem editing own stories To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That does in fact fix things - but as I said in my previous post, why is this needed when the owner (me) has R/E permissions? This seems like a potential security issue, doens't this give write permission to anyone via the group permissions? Philip
