Hi I am trying to set up author privileges for my members that sign up to my site for a small fee. Can I set up this feature in the membership area so when people sign up and pay the will have author privileges, or do I need to creat a group and link it in some way to the membership pro?
Registered - This group allows the user to login to the Frontend interface. Registered users can't contribute content, but this may allow them access to other areas, like a forum or download section if your site has one.
Author - This group allows a user to post content, usually via a link in the User Menu. They can submit new content, select options to show the item on the front page and select dates for publishing but they cannot directly publish any content. When content is submitted by an Author level user, they receive the message, “Thanks for your submission. Your submission will now be reviewed before being posted to the site.” They can edit only their own articles but only when that article has been published and is visible.
