Create a role that allows an org member to post to a blog.
User can't edit or delete other people's posts. User can't change blog settings. (user request, +1)
User can either publish directly to the blog or submit posts to an internal submission queue. Perhaps different roles:
| Status | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restricted Maniphest Task | ||||
| Waiting | None | T812 Support user-generated blog index templates | ||
| Waiting | None | T821 Blog layout templating system | ||
| Open | None | T855 Support Team member account deletion | ||
| Open | matt | T824 Support removing org member | ||
| Open | None | T859 Public article authors | ||
| Open | None | T863 Set post author | ||
| Resolved | matt | T736 Organization member roles | ||
| Open | matt | T733 Organization roles (Write.as) | ||
| Restricted Maniphest Task | ||||
| Open | matt | T734 Contributor role | ||
| Resolved | matt | T738 Author role |
We should wait until we have a concrete use case for this from a customer before starting development.
Also, this might involve some kind of integration with Submit.as (it's a fuzzy idea).
We're going to use this as an internal role designation, to solve a need from #fight_back_news and #forces_unseen (another early Org user): blog contributors that don't need a full account.
Org Admins and Editors will be able to create a "Contributor" or "Outside Author," which is an Author-level role, but without an actual Write.as account backing it. This will allow them to add article bylines that are associated with a single, consistent source.
Beyond that (TODO: spec this out), we should allow someone to associate a Write.as account with a Contributor, converting it into a functional Author org member.
Note: Contributors will not count toward an org's total user count.
