Subject: More Security Role Control

The Security Role Editor is awesome. It allows you to give people certain roles in your group and control what and whatnot can be edited by certain members. If it weren’t for the Security Role Editor most groups wouldn’t be able to run as well as they do now.

But every time I press the “[modify role]” text and go onto the role editing screen, I can’t help but want more specific role privileges. Certain privileges are grouped when they could be sperate. In some cases that’s good, because you wouldn’t need them split like the Moderate Forum privilege (Pin and lock threads in the group's private forums).

The main privileges that I’d like more control of is the ones listed under “Other Content Permissions” in the editor. They currently only have two tick boxes: one to create anything in the resource section of the group, and one to edit anything in the resource section of the group.

These two are great for handling the article section but I had this idea to put my groups custom columns section to good use by adding a tips database where any member can add halo game play tips freely. But the problem is that to allow them to post there I’ll also have to allow them to post in the article section (due to there only being two privileges for all the resources) and I don’t want that.

I want privileged members to be able to create articles and non privileged members able to post in the custom columns.

What are your thoughts on this?

To be honest, the group security roles are fine the way they are. In my opinion, you are being a bit too picky. Sure some things can be taken out and a few others put in, but in all the group security role is perfectly fine. It has been going strong for this many years like this, so why change something that is good?

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

It does seem a bit specific to cater to the majority, but if it isn't too hard to put in, I don't see any problem with it. Perhaps a mini-checklist to indicate which resources the role can post in.

IT is fine how it is at the moment but if bungie would be able to add a few more options it would make it quite a bit better. The mini-checklist would work perfect.

I agree with Xbox Halo Guy, permissions should be more selective. I definitly don't want people posting in the articles section without permission but equally I want people to be able to post links and custom columns. I've though this for ages and its been said in the past I know but as of yet nothing has been done to change it.

The more control over your group, the more individual it feels and with only a few different templates at the moment, that’s needed a lot.
