A test … as I’ve noticed a couple of ‘password change’ requests … all miniLegends have been changed to become Editors of their own blogs.
The features they have access to are in bold below.
• Dashboard – Dashboard, Promote Your Blog
• Write – Write Post, Write Page, Write Tweet
• Manage - Posts, Pages, Uploads, Categories, Import, Export, Subscriptions
• Comments – Comments, Awaiting Moderation (0), Akismet Spam (0)
• Blogroll – Manage Blogroll, Add Link, Import Links, Categories
• Presentation – Themes, Widgets, Current Theme Options
• Plugins – Plugins, Google Analytics, Akismet Configuration
• Users – Authors & Users, Your Profile, Your Avatar, Blog & User Creator, Invites
• Options – General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Privacy, Delete Blog, FeedBurner, Blog Avatar, Blog Type, Forums, Twitter Tools, Inline Google Maps 2, Subscribe to Comments, AMP, Contact Form (Editors are greeted by “nice try”)
• Upgrades – Upgrades, Credits, History
I also unchecked ‘Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)’… who knows what someone might put in their post when they link to you?
Keep “safe and savvy”.
What it does mean is that students can’t change their passwords. They also can’t delete or change my editorial status from administrator.
I would still like a way for all posts to be sent to me although I do check them regularly. Currently I am the only administrator of their blogs.
I’m really in two minds about this. What do others think?
