Answered Access Policy

    I created a new Access Policy for an editor, while they can view/edit the Articles posts they're unable to view/edit Articles Comments (access denied). It works fine for the admin Access Policy. Instead of going through and checking each policy item one-by-one, which item(s) control viewing/editing Articles Comments?

    Thanks

      The Quip Extra, which Articles uses for commenting, defines it's own Policy Templates/Policies. You will need to assign an appropriate Quip Policy to your editor's User Group.

        I am having the same problem, but unfortunately I don't fully understand the answer. Could you please give more details on exactly how to do this?

        Thanks!

          1. Go to Menu > Security > Access Controls
          2. Select the User Groups tab.
          3. Right-click on the User Group you want to assign the Quip Access Policy to and select Update User Group.
          4. Select the Context Access tab
          5. Click the Add Context button.
          6. In the dialog window:

            Context: mgr

            Minimum Role: Super User-0

            Access Policy: QuipModeratorPolicy
          7. Save your changes.

          I would then Flush All Sessions and log back in. That should do it.
