My b2evolution Version: 2.4.0 rc2

Hi,
How do I give users permission to use my blog? I have added a user as a Blogger but where do I say they can use my blog? They can login but do not have permission to do anything!

I've tried this: http://manual.b2evolution.net/New_users but I can't find a Blogs Tab, and there certainly isn't anywhere I can select which blogs a user has access to. How do I do this?

I think I'm supposed to see a Permissions Tab when clicking on a blog in the bloglist, but there isn't a Permissions tag.

Thanks,
Clive

hey had the same issue myself...there are two places to set options for blog users:

The first is under users > and under there you will see all your users seperated into groups. Click on the group title and you will see the options for that group and there you can set the permissions.

The second way is blog settings > user perms or blog settings > group perms

here you can edit the permissions with check boxes

hope this helps!

In Blog Settings, I have no User Permissions or Group Permissions! Why is that?
Thanks,

There's no User perms, no. I've even installed the latest version of b2evo on another site and that tab isn't on there either. When I create a blog, I have used the Standard Blog. Should I be creating a Multiple Users Blog?
Thanks,

I've just tried installing a Multiple Users Blog, and the tab is missing on there also! So, it isn't that...

Go to "Blog settings -> pick a blog -> Features" subtab and there you will find a checkbox to enable "Use advanced perms" which you will want to check. That will give you the User and Group permissions subtab for that blog.

Hey the other day I tried to help someone only to learn 5 posts into the thread that I had my head so far up my butt I was looking at the world through my belly button. The more we answer the more we learn eh?

"Advanced Workflow" enables adding statuses to posts. I had no idea! In this case I went looking for the User and Group perms because there was no way I was going to believe that they simply didn't exist anymore, so now I know this one ... and the other one about statuses.

But hey the important thing is that the new players don't get to catch up to my post count. My tender ego is afraid of being beaten there, so I *have* to reply to stuff ;)
