Editing permissions for a new group and for lots of exisitng articles

Articles permissions faster-editing new-group new-information

When a new group is made, hundreds of articles need to be edited to adjust permissions. This is slow and tedious right now and prone to mistakes i.e. forgetting some content.

   

It would help, if adding a group to a category's permission, that is already existing, had the option to update and add this new group to all articles contained in the folder.

   

This would also help, if a group uncovers a stack of new information that needs to be unlocked for them to access. For example, a book with recipes and information about things that have their own articles.

The Team's Response

Thank you for your suggestion! This is an interesting idea, and it will be added to our dev backlog.

    Let us assign articles to groups by tags.

    Inheriting permissions from a category would probably be the tech here. Not automatic, but a button for categories to make all articles inside inherit and an article to inherit from category (if in one).   Discord has a similar implementation for channel permissions, so this concept is already ingrained into the zoomer ui-hivemind

    I would suggest being able to select multiple articles and edit basic info, like permissions, or being able to move all of them to another category, etc. That would make my life so much easier.
