Permission to add news but not edit page or navigation
I have a communication site and I would like everyone in my organisation to be able to add news but not edit the site homepage or navigation. Is it possible to allow users to add news via the "+Add" ...
Because news are pages and pages library holds everything you can’t exactly out of the box. You could break permissions on each page and make them read only and then allow edit rights on the site pages library for the news. That way your pages are locked read only but the library will allow new pages for news.
- Tried this but the users lose the "+Add" button on the webpart and they also cannot access the new page form.
- It should work if you give edit rights to the entire library. Only restrict the main page or pages you don’t want them to edit?
We have discovered that if we give a user contribute access for the site and then read access for a page, we get the "+Add" buttons and the ability to add new pages but the "Edit" page and navigation buttons are hidden. Thanks for your help.
