[SOLVED] Delete and unpublsih categories was created by Guardian1
In order fpr blogs to publish to articles on our site I have to enable certain users to be authors but Ive just realised that authors also have the ability to delete or unpublish categories on the groupjive software

Is there a way to stop authors from having this facility ? as at the moment and for the last 6 months anyone could use our blogs become authors on our site and delete entire categories

thanks

Please what usergroups you've configured within CB Configuration to be moderators. Moderators are exempt from many configuration options and have much more power. Your author users can probably edit other users as well.

well its complex, as we have kunenu forums , blogs ,chat,wall, articles, and much more

but the groupjive has the original settings, where owners can make people moderators or admins, this also applies to the group forums and thats fine as I imagine this only applies too individual groups

the problem is that I use "myblog software" where people can post from blog to article and then from article to forum, but in order to have the article with the correct author on the site I have to make them an author, this works fine on the rest of the site, its just I have only just realised that author on groupjive means deleting of entire categories

I just wondered if there was a way to hide the "delete category" etc
or a way around it
