Aurora: About the "Categories" set of permissions
Note: This article refers to the Categories set of permissions available at any level of the community. If you’re looking for information about how to set permissions at the category level of the community, see Set permissions at the category level.
You can adjust permissions related to categories at the community and category level.
Some permissions are set to Deny by default while others are set to Grant by default. Permission defaults and role permissions are inherited from the parent level (the community or another top-level category). In those cases, the Inherit button is displayed in green to indicate that the permission was set to Grant at the parent level or red to indicate that the permission was set to Deny at the parent level. As an admin, you can manage these permissions. When available, links to more information regarding a feature or permission have been provided.
To manage category-related permission defaults at the community level:
Note: To manage this permission at a lower level, go to the [Place] Permissions page and edit the permission defaults for that level. To manage this permission for a particular role, go to the [Place] Permissions page at the desired level of the community and edit the permissions of the individual roles.
- Go to the Roles and Permissions page for the community.
- Beside Community Permissions Defaults, click Edit.
- In the left panel, click Categories.
- Select Deny or Grant as required for the following permissions:
- See categories (Grant by default)
- Create categories (Deny by default except for Admins)
- Edit category settings (Deny by default except for Admins)
- Move categories (Deny by default except for Admins)
- Delete categories (Deny by default except for Admins)
Unless you have specified different permissions for certain roles or levels below the community level (a category), these selections affect all members of the community.
