Groups, news stories & events are moderated by user roles specific to each function

[ ] Enhance the current Group manager role to cover anyone managing an Organisation – either a Community Group or a Trader.
[ ] Separate user role for Event contributor
[ ] Separate user role for News contributor

We need to work out what each of these involves:

When am I made a News contributor or an Event contributor? Is it a permission I am granted once I've successfully had a news item or event approved by an editor?

So, we already have user roles for:

Event contributor
News contributor

So we need to double-check the configuration of permissions is correct for each role and doesn't grant them any powers we wouldn't want them to have.

and group administrator/owner (combined service listing with community group as all the same type in the future).

@GilesGibson I will rename this issue to something more general covering this as well.

new site.

I wanted to check on the ability to have different roles of users. Reading the admin manual (and what an epic read it is too) it looks like there is only one role as a contributor. This role allows someone to auto-publish events AND news items. Is it possible to have this split so that there are two roles, as per previous conversations, one that can auto-publish events, the other that can autio-publish news? The two should ideally be kept separate otherwise we will have people putting up their events for a yoga class and then thinking that their change of time of a yoga class one Tuesday afternoon warrants a major news story.

so you just need only that split? Could contributor be for news, and "event organizer" be for events?

@GilesGibson commented on Tue Mar 31 2015

happy to have that split. I can then update the admin manual as it has no details for contributor at the moment. I want to add a whole bunch of users as contributors so that we don't have to moderate their stuff.

Going to stick with moderation for now and explore better ways of being more flexible per content type.
