[Building Sakai] MOTD permissions

[Adam Marshall]

Um, I am close to being stumped!

Clicking on the user on /announcement/channel/!site/motd page has the 'author' role ticked and the status set to Active.

We have just checked whether we have added any custom code to support this process and I can confirm we haven't. Ours all works fine on Sakai 2.8.

The last suggestion from Matthew here at Oxford, (which to my ears sounds a cast-iron 100% cert,) is that you need to flush the caches via the memory tool in Admin Workspace. Please say you haven't already tried this!

Adam,

I did the Grant Ability thing now, see the attached motd-realm.png.
The .anon role has the default (out the box) permission (annc.read).
The .auth role has the default (out the box) permission (annc.read).
The author role has the following permissions;
. annc.all.groups
. annc.delete.any
. annc.delete.own
. annc.new
. annc.read
. annc.read.drafts
. annc.revise.any
. annc.revise.own
For the admin realm see the attached admin-realm.png.
Here the author role has the following permissions;
.  annc.all.groups
.  annc.delete.any
.  annc.delete.own
.  annc.new
.  annc.read
.  annc.read.drafts
.  annc.revise.any
.  annc.revise.own
.  site.visit

The user is still not able to create messages

Thanks,
Jaques

It turns out I only gave you half the story. (You learn something new every day!)

For this bit:

. Log in as admin
. Go to Realms, /announcement/channel/!site/motd
. Add role 'author'
. Give the role all the annc.* permissions

You also need to click on 'Grant Ability' and add the user ID of the 'author'. There should be a .anon role assigned on the 'Edit: Realm /announcement/channel/!site/motd' page if not, add it.

Thanks Adam,

This is similar to what I tried and I did now do what you suggested, but still not getting it to work, I must be missing something.
This is Sakai 2.9.3

I did the following;
. Log in as admin
. Go to Realm, /site/!admin
. Add Role 'author'
. Give the role the following permissions:
o annc.*
o site.visit
. Go to Sites tool and select !admin site
. Add page and add MOTD tool to page
. Go to Worksite Setup tool and edit Administration Workspace
. Add person with Add Participants
. Set the role to 'author'
Did not work
I also;
. Log in as admin
. Go to Realms, /announcement/channel/!site/motd
. Add role 'author'
. Give the role all the annc.* permissions
Still not. Any Ideas?

Thanks.
Jaques

We granted this role site.visit and permission for the announcements tool annc.read, annc.create and so on. The add your authors to the admin workspace and give them the author role.

Hi all,
 
How do I give someone permission to add announcements to the Message Of The Day tool?
I played around with the realm and and but don't get more then just adding it to sites...what am I missing?
 
Thanks,
Jaques
