create content for a certain role linked to authority

Posted by sidsali on January 16, 2013 at 12:22pm

I am setting up my first Drupal 7 website with Marinelli theme and have a problem with rights to add new content

1)I have created a role 'article editor' that has the right to create, update article content
2) I created a user 'testuser3' and gave him the role 'article editor'

However, when I am logged on with testuser3, I cannot find a option 'create new content' on any of my pages.
When logged on with admin, I can add new content using the options at the top bar on the screen 'add content' and 'find content'. In the body of the pages, I have an option to 'clone the content' because I installed the module for cloning.

So, what is the rationale behind? Where does a user with 'article - create new content' right find the option to effectively add content?

thanks for any help!

your_sitename.com/node/add/article

if it opens a page for adding an article then its working fine only thing is you need to create a menu link for article editor of path "node/add/article"

please write your experimental results here to help to solve your issue.

Apparently without doing anything specific, I have now in the navigation menu a menu option 'add content'
So, I did not need to add the menu manually!

The testuser3 has the possibility to add content only for his allowed content types. Great!

thanks!
