Assigning rights

To assign rights to specific roles, click on People | Permissions | Roles or navigate to admin/people/permissions/roles.

Rights for the student role

Click on the edit permissions link for the student role.

The rights we will assign to this role will allow us to get students into the site. In Chapter 6, Creating the Student Blog, we will begin to assign greater rights to the student role to allow them to participate in a broader range of activities.

Note

As we add the ability to create different types of content on the site, we will assign rights to add, edit, and delete that content. In most cases, this will be done via the node module, as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. This description will not cover assigning rights to specific content types, as these permissions will be discussed in the chapters devoted to these specific content types.

Assign the following rights to the student role:

• The Comment module: Students do not need approval to post comments
