How to give users create permissions for the group without giving them create permissions for the entire site [#1117728]

It would appear that in order for a group member to create an article in the group they need permission using this module, and permission to create articles for the entire site. Is it possible to restrict them to only be able to post articles in the group? How can I give the group member permission to create in the group without them having permission to create site wide articles?

Hey Matt

The idea of this module is to allow users the permissions to create within a group - and not have global permissions.

The tricky bit is the interface. It requires some manual theming in order to do the implementation.

I'm trying to do the same thing...greenman, by manual theming do you mean making the "add content" link available only on the group's page? Obviously if a non-group member who is an authenticated site user types in the correct URL they'd be able to add group content; however no group audience would be available and if this is a required field they would not be able to post content. This seems like alot of hoops...I'd be grateful if you'd let me know if I'm on the right track or not! Thanks.

Create a group post content type and then allow group members to post that content type, no others. I also used panels and visibility rules so that the Add Content link is only visible for those who have permission to create group content.

@cartagena - I think this is the only viable solution at the moment to provide valid create links to only those that should be able to see them. This module doesn't doesn't integrate with OG's Node Create Links functionality.

still, when someone manually types in the "node/add/" , that should also be rejected. Not enough just to hide the menu links.

Yes, that is correct. Since that post 3 months ago I've made other changes--I allowed only users with the proper role (group leader) to access the post group content page and set a rule so that when someone is approved as a group leader they get that role. If their status is changed and they are no longer the leader they lose the role. And viewing comments has a couple levels of permissions, set by the group leader. But only group members can post content.
