Editor only permissions

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

In a discussion titled “Editor only permissions” under the Feature category, satonotdead asks if it’s possible to grant an editor limited access—specifically, the ability to edit wiki posts without delete privileges or moderator indicators in their profile. Jagster suggests using the “min trust to edit wiki post” setting but notes it doesn’t support group-based permissions, referencing an existing feature request that remains unaddressed. maiki asks for clarification on the required editing actions and proposes assigning Trust Level 3, 4, or Category Moderator roles, linking to a permissions table. satonotdead confirms they need full edit permissions only—no deletions or moderator badges—and plans to explore TL3 as a potential solution.

That could be possible?

I see that we have ‘Shared edits’ and more stuff for wikis but we will add to our team an editor that we don’t want more acces than edit.

So you want allow editing of wikis just for some, not for everyone? But can you use setting min trust to edit wiki post and just create an editor-only group?

edit:

Not good idea. That setting allows only per trust level, it is not using groups.

And here is feature request for that, without any reactions:

Which editing actions do you need for your editor? Perhaps they could be set to TL3, TL4, or a Category Moderator?

Just edit posts, not delete them or shows ‘mods’ in their profile because they don’t).

T3 could enable that? I will look into it, we need full edit permissions and that’s all.
