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" ...
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.
- I’ve done something similar. Was hoping metadata would solve this but you can only use metadata page filters on the same site which makes sense but is a bummer. We need some kind of hub site columns feature now :).
- Sorry, I had to edit my previous comment. We worked it out. Regarding your comment, I was hoping to use metadata for the whole hub too but sadly that's not the case. Our newsfeed is going to remain a stream of consciousness rather than a curated feed, with another newsfeed for other content categories.
