User Access Manager (UAM) write permissions

This came up in discussion on my blog and I thought you all might benefit from it:

If you are using the User Access Manager (UAM) plugin and you want to let people other than Admins (i.e. Authors and Editors) post to the group, you have to do one of three things BEFORE the page or post is created.

1) Assign the individual Author or Editor to the group

2) Assign the Author and/or Editor role to the group, which would allow all users with the assigned role(s) to post.

or

3) Change the “Write Access” to “all” instead of the default “only group users”. This would allow all Authors and Editors to post within the group.

Admins are granted group access by default, so you don’t have to do any of the above to allow admins to post.

If an Author or Editor tries to add a post to the group without doing one of the above first, that person will be able to create a draft but will not be able to publish it. They will get an error message when trying to publish. The draft will have to be deleted and re-created after doing one of the above.

Enjoy!
