Hi:
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or somethign intentional, but on my site (and a few friends sites) story admin's don't have the privaledges to edit a story, not even their own. It would be awesome and cool if they could. Is there a simple hack to do this without giving story admin's full "root" privs?
Thanks
Theo

Do they have write privs to the topic in which the stories reside?

I just discoved that mine doesn't work either. Not even when the topic permission is given.
Do you have HTMLArea installed? I am wondering if that caused the problem.
It must be caused by some recent updates because it was working before.

apparently changing the topic to allow the group to edit it.. made it possible for my buddy to edit his story (need to confirm)

Since you said so, I reset the topic's permission, which was previously already given permission to the Story Admin. In other words, I just pressed 'save' to resave the setting. Now it is working.
I suspect the upgrade to SR2 affected this setting.

You need to set the user as a story admin. Also, in the topic admin screen you need to set the topic you want them to be able to post/edit as group edit rights. You have to do this for each topic or they won't be able to edit their stories in that particular topic.

I have this problem as well. Seting the topic rights to group edit fixed it, but I don't like having to do this. Is this a bug? I am using gl 1.3.9

It's not a bug. Check out
this FAQ entry[*1] for details.

After more experimenting I have determined that the story admin must also be a topic admin as well. Also, the topic must be set to group edit. If not the story admin gets an error saying they tried to access a story they don't have access rights to. Even though they created the story.
