Yeah, so I still have not figured out what the difference is between story.moderate, story.submit and story.edit.
I wanted to create a group called "authors", which are registered users who can enter their story while bypassing the submit process. At the same time, they would have access to the "images" function etc., in other words all the story editor stuff. I do not want, however, that these Authors are able to Edit anyone else's work other than their own. So, I created the group with [all users] and [logged-in users] clicked, and I assigned the rights of [story.edit].
Well, partial success! When a user is made a member of Authors, she gets transported to the edit screen when "contributing" a story. Unfortunately, however, she is also able to edit stories from other users, including accepted stories from registered members. What am I missing?
TIA, Dr Magu
