Organizers can allow their Members to manage new or existing content on their Space by managing their Capabilities, which can be applied to a single post, all posts of a single type, or the entire Space.

Assigning Capabilities

There are three places where a Capability can be assigned.

Accessibility

Accessibility helps to determine the default Capability for Content.

Members and Organizers

By default, every Member is capable of being assigned specific Capabilities to gain access to various administrative functions of a Space.  To grant a Member unlimited access to everything in a Space, they should be marked as an Organizer, which you can do from the Member Dashboard:

Calculating Capability

Whenever a Member attempts to complete an action on Content within a Space, the Platform calculates their Capability; which determines whether they are allowed to complete the action.

UI Steps


UI Step

Privilege

If the Member has been marked as an Organizer, they will automatically be able to complete any action on the Space.

If they are a Member, move on to the next step.


UI Step

Roles and Permissions

Along with assigning a Role or Permission directly to a Member, it can also be assigned to a Membership, Tag, or Taxon.  When determining whether a Member has a Capability, the Platform will take into account the Member's current Membership along with any associated Tags and Taxons.

If any Roles or Permissions are found, the highest level will be the Member's Capability.  If none are found, move on to the next step.


UI Step

Accessibility

If a Member has no explicit or inherited Roles or Permissions, the Accessibility will determine whether a Post should be visible.


Principals

Roles and Permissions are always associated with a Principal, which is an individual or group of individuals associated with your Space:

Definition List
