Allow non-admin to edit category logo, details

Hi

I cannot find any documentation to allow users to edit their category logo without being an admin.

Is this possible? We have clans in our game and wanted to let the leader(s) of the clan to edit their own category logo, description etc.

We would rather avoid making them admins if possible, this is the only elevated privilege they should have.

Haven’t looked into this, but I thought there was a setting that allows moderators to create new categories. I suppose they could change settings then as well.

I tried giving moderator status to a test user and it didnt help.

It only allowed them to edit categories when given full admin status

Do you have this on?

Thanks, turning that on did allow the moderators to edit categories as we need them to.

However it’s preferred that they aren’t able to create new categories. If there’s a way to keep these things separate, and honestly I thought this would be more clearly documented, I would prefer that.

Well, you could make that a feature request. Until then I suppose you tell your moderators to stay away from creating new categories. As long as you don’t have dozens of moderators, that should be doable.

To be fair it should have been there by default, it doesn’t seem like this system has been thought through very well, but will do when I have time.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

Er… you’re here for about two months now and if you look around, you’d notice Discourse is fully in active development. If there something you don’t like, tell about it, make suggestions, submit PRs, etc.

The account is two months old.

User roles and permissions are pretty basic imo.

Glad you see it that way. Looking forward to a PR. :wink:

Some of us have multiple projects already. I’m sure there are many capable developers who can implement a user permission system

There are, but are you willing to pay for it? :wink: Getting stuff for free is pretty nice, isn’t it?

To build upon this reasonable thought–

An admin should not make someone a moderator if no trust exists with that someone. Through experience, I understand this includes heads of clans/factions in a game. They became the leader for a sound reason, in theory.

One of those “common sense” things easily applied to most instances.

모더레이터가 카테고리를 생성(즉, 수정)할 수 있도록 하는 것은 원글의 "관리자가 아닌 사용자에게 카테고리 로고 및 세부 정보 수정 권한 부여"와는 전혀 다른 문제입니다.

설령 "모더레이터가 카테고리를 수정할 수 있도록 허용"에 추가 옵션으로 넣는다고 해도, 한 카테고리를 수정하려면 해당 사용자를 전역 모더레이터로 지정해야 하므로 요구사항을 충족하지 못합니다.

필요한 것은 그룹의 소유자와 유사한 기능입니다. 즉, 게시물을 관리하고 카테고리 세부 정보를 편집할 수 있는 카테고리의 소유자입니다.

사용자를 신뢰할 수 있다는 전제에 동의하지만, 다른 한편으로 사용자에게 필요한 것 이상의 권한을 부여하는 것은 항상 보안 위험을 수반합니다.
