Hi, there:
I want to access the channel managers( or all administrators) for a
specific channel ( or a posting ). Can I do that through program?  Thanks!

[ Post a follow-up to this message ]

Hi,

there is no supported way to achieve this.
The best workaround is to assign an AD group for each rights group and then
enumerate this AD group using ADSI.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Can you maybe give a code example?
So...what does the posting.Approvers() contain? I wish it had have all the
users who have the approval rights of that posing. Since, admin and channel
managers can definitely approve the page. Thanks!

Hi,

posting.Approvers contains a collection of users able to approve the posting
in its current state.
Sorry I don't have an ADSI code example.
Please check on an AD related newsgroup.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Let's say A is administrators who can do anything for any channels.
B is just an editor for a posting.
When a change is submitted for this posting, A doesn't seem to be in the
posting.Approvers collection. What if I want to send notifications to A as
well?

Hi, there are two problems: I seem to have a very long list of admistrators.
So adding each one to editors( or even moderstors) seems not good, especiall
y
administrators already have any right anybody wants.
Two: I wonder what happened when the page is published, what will the
posting.approvers contain.
Correct me if I'm wrong, the status of posting vs that values
posting.approvers have

Status:                                 posting.approvers:
Change is submitted  --------- Editors for the posting
Editor approve posting---------Moderators for the posting
Moderators approve   ---------Administrators or nothing?

Is there any way to find a collection of CMS users, other than
posting.Approvers?
Maybe I'll have to go through each user to check CanCreateChannel,
CanApprove properties.
All that I'm trying to is to find appropriate person to notify when a page
is changed
in this way or that. Thank you very much.

Hi,

Although administrators can act in any other role they usually do
administrative tasks.
They would be bothered about emails that they should approve something if
they are not part of the real workflow.
And there is no way to restrict an administrator not to have this right!

To avoid this the administrator will not automatically be returned in the
approvers list if he has not been added to the actual approver list.

There is no supported way to get such a list.

Cheers,
Stefan.

I see... it's probably true our site  is not implemented in a standard way,
in terms of user rolls.

So... after the editor appoved a page, are there ways to get a list of
moderators to push publications? It looks to me, the posting.Approvers will
only contain editors, when it's in Waiting for Editor Approval state, and
nothing  when in Waiting for Moderator Approval state.

Hi,

actually if the posting is in "Waiting for Moderator Approval" state the
Approvers method will list all approvers in the assigned moderators groups.
If no users are listed then most likely no users are assigned to this
moderator group.

Cheers,
Stefan.
