Hi all,

I'm looking to install a blog application that can handle:

1. Many users creating many blogs per user.
2. Allows multiple users to update a single blog.
3. Allows a blog owner to "authorize" read, read/write access to any other registered user.
4. Integration with existing LDAP system for authentication.

can Drupal support these features?

Thanks in advance.

David

Drupal can do all those except the multi-blog per single user issue.
I know that you can use the 'story' feature in Drupal for shared entries, but I am yet to think of how you can have more than 1 blog per user without having more than 1 user ID because blogs are identified by whom they belong to.

Am I mis-understanding what you mean by multiple blogs per user?

1. Many users creating many blogs per user.
2. Allows multiple users to update a single blog.

The Book module is designed to suit your needs better than the Blog module. The Blog is designed to be one blog per User and filed by the user id. The Book module is based on the Book Title with Child Pages added, like an outline format. You can assign permissions as to who can "Create a New Book" and who can "Add to a Book", meaning to Add a Child Page or Edit the Current Pages.

3. Allows a blog owner to "authorize" read, read/write access to any other registered user.

The Group module allows a regular User to control which Role IDs can post in their Group and what content type pages can be posted in their Group.

The Group is a content type. Permission is assigned who can create a Group. The author who creates the Group decides what Roles can join the Group and what content type pages will be used in the Group postings, such as Blog, Book, Forum, Event.
