Aurora: Set tag permissions
In the community, you can set tag-specific permissions to control who can add and manage tags on posts.
At the community, category, group, and board levels, community includes these tag-specific permissions:
- Add tags to own posts: Authors can add tags to their own posts. By default, this permission is granted to all community members.
- Add tags to any post: Members can add tags to their posts and other members' posts. By default, this permission is granted to all community members.
- Manage tags: Members can manage their own tags as well as tags other members have applied to content. Management tasks include removing or consolidating tags across the community. This permission is recommended for Admins or Moderators and is denied by default.

You can modify these permissions at various levels or assign permissions based on role. We recommend not altering these permissions unless you have a particular scenario where you want to modify the default permissions for specific members.
Let’s take an example where you want to deny the Add tags to own posts permission at category level. This is granted by default at other community levels. In this scenario, the permission you set at category level overrides the default community permission.
To modify permission at specific community level:
- Sign in to the community as an Admin.
- Open the Account menu and click Settings.
- Go to the Community Structure and click the category whose permission you want to modify.
- Go to Category Permissions and then click Edit next to the Category Permission Defaults.
- Scroll down to the Tags section and set the permissions.
Grant tag-specific permissions to a role
- Sign in to the community as an Admin.
- Open the Account menu and click Settings.
- Go to Users > Roles and Permissions.
- Click Edit next to the role you want to assign a tag-specific permission.
- Scroll down to the Tags section and set the permissions.
