Posting ownership. CMS 2001 vs CMS 2002
|
|
|
|
In CMS 2001,
Assume,
An authoring group A1 has 5 persons in it,
and a channel had several postings with A1 as its author group. The
author that first edited the page or created it was the page owner. A
different person though in the same authoring group A1 could not edit
the page. Unless the ownership was changed to everybody.
There was some custom work done by microsoft at my clients site, to
enable that feature, so that any author can edit any page in a given
channel that had authoring rights to that authoring group.
In CMS 2002 is the functioanlity same? Do we have to consider upgradng
this functionality of changing ownership programatically so that all
authors in a group can edit that page. Or is this taken care of in CMS
2002?
Hope I am clear  please let me know if need further clarification in
my question..
thanks

| Hi Laks,
no on CMS 2002 the posting ownership is released after the posting got
approved.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| thx much for reply,
When you say ownership is released do you mean it changes to
"Everyone"?
When an approved posting needs editing, does the owner ship change to
the author/editor editing it or does it remain as "Everyone"? I dont
see the toggle happening when I am testing on Woodgrovenet. What is the
correct behaviour
(What is CMS intended/supposed to do)
Thanks much

| Hi Laks,
yes everyone means that the ownership is released.
After an additional change of the posting by an author the changing author
will become the owner till the item is approved or has been changed by an
editor.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| How can I confirm that the locking owner has changed from Everybody to
the editing author/editor?
I am checking in Sitemanager and dont see the user change from
Everybody to the authoring person.
Is it because the posting is already approved?
Am I checking in the right place? How can I validate the ownership has
changed..
many thx.

| Hi Laks,
you will see this in web author.
SiteManager might show the approved version of the posting.
In web author you are able to see the correct information.
Cheers,
Stefan.
