Changing "Created By" name on blog
We are using the blog functionality within SharePoint. We have a wide variety of people that will be adding blog content and I really don't want to give them all access to change our entire site. I created a Form and a Flow so that when people create their blog in the form, it automatically creates a blog post. Then I just need to go in an make sure formatting is good and publish it. However, it still says at the top of the blog post that all blogs are 'Created by' me. Is there a way to change the name of this 'Created by' field. I tried to update the blog entry list, but Created by is not a field that is actually present on the list that makes up the blog form in SharePoint. Thanks!
AndiRobinson Created By field cannot be changed through SharePoint UI.
How about enabling Content Approval for Posts list and adding other blog authors as Members to the blog site.
Matti Paukkonen I do have content approval set up for the post list. I created a Blog Authors group, but for some reason, it does not give me the option to change permissions for that group.
AndiRobinson how about just using out of the box Members group?
You can grant permissions to Blog Authors group on Site Permissions page found in Site Settings. Or just typing /_layouts/user.aspx after your blog site url.
