General Permissions

Permissions are now part of Roles, but the order in which the Permissions are displayed in the Role Details have been re-ordered so as to show importance of the permissions:

  • Weblog Administrator - This quasi-role is the exact equivalent of a user who has been individually granted all of the permissions listed below, allowing them full control over every aspect of the weblog.
  • Configure Weblog - Users granted this privilege for a particular weblog can access the configuration settings for that weblog.
  • Edit All Entries - Users granted this privilege for a particular weblog can modify all entries, comments and TrackBacks posted on that weblog, regardless of who authored them.
