Limit authorization to create news for Members
Does anyone know if it is possible to control who can post news?
Have a site with several editors who are therefore "Members", but only some of them should be authorized to post news. Can this be controlled?
Fingers crossed 🤞

ingeLLa There is no simple permission level that you can use to do this because a page is just a page. There are some options to get this outcome, though. One is to create a separate site for news and just make the source of the news on the main site the "news site." Make your news editors Members of the News Site only. That way, they only have permissions to edit news. Another is to add a workflow to page publishing on the main site so that you can review all pages prior to publishing. You could have a different publishing workflow for pages with Promoted State 1 or 2 (unpublished and published news) vs. Promoted State = 0 ("durable" site pages). I've done both, but the first option is a little easier. The downside is that if a user follows the main site, they are not following the related News site - so you will need to encourage users to follow both sites or do some coding magic to auto-follow one or both sites.
Susan_Hanley Thank you for your answer!
