Assigning blog access to users

The Portal administrator can assign Editor access to you if you need to create and manage blogs within the site. If you are given Editor access to a blog, you can create or modify posts in that blog. If you are given Editor rights to a blog library, you can create and modify blogs and you can create and modify posts in that blog library. If you have Manager rights to a blog, you can create, modify, and delete posts and delete comments in that blog. If you are given Manager rights to a blog library, you can create, modify, and delete blogs. You can also create, modify, and delete posts and delete comments within the blogs.

For an example of assigning access to users, refer to the following instructions for adding users to the Editor role:

1. Click the Administration menu icon. Then, click Portal Content > Web Content Libraries.

2. Go to the library that contains the blog you want to manage and click Set permissions.

3. Click Edit Role for the Editor role.

4. Click Add to assign users or groups to the Editor role. Search for the users or groups that belong to this role.
