Permissions -Editors -Authors Galleries
At the moment features and permissions are incredibly flexible when it comes to subscriber groups. This is great when World Anvil is viewed simpply as a means to present a world to groups.
However, WA also works great as a private collaborative space and campaign hub for notes and handouts between players and GMs in a campaign. The ability to assign players as Authors or Advanced Authors is exactly what is needed, but also very limited in options - it's all or nothing when it comes to permissions.
For example: It would be great to assign players as advanced authors, or editors, but not letting them see ALL the galleries in the Images & Files. As a GM or owner, there are some galleries that one would like to keep hidden, and perhaps create a 'shared gallery' which editors and writers can use.
In addition, being able to allow writers to move articles between categories, or only create articles within a category would be useful. For example: you have 1 world, 2 campaigns in it, and 3 players per campaign. It would be handy to restrict the permissions of players with editor/writer roles to only create articles in their category (their campaign category).
Essentially, a selection of permissions and gallery visiblity for contributors/writers/editors

Authors will not get granular permissions. but Advanced Writers will be getting much more powerful in the future.

on 2021-04-24 19:34I have been hoping for something like this for a while. A way to have players be editors so they can go in and edit documents, (especially my bad spelling), create maps etc, but still have the ability for me to set articles that only I can see as I want to prepare things, but not make them available until we are at that point in the game.

on 2021-04-08 16:39I think there is something like this on the roadmap, though I believe it is further down the roadmap we currently have on the blog. This would be lovely to have, however. I suspect one of the GMs I play for would love if I could just make the startings of articles for the random improvised lore he created in session (He has said, and I quote "I am not responsible for remembering what I improv" though I have the habit of doing exactly that because it sounded *interesting*)

on 2021-04-08 15:02I would love to allow some of my players to come on as editors, and they are even keen to, so that they can proofread and check for continuity and then make the changes themselves. However, I do not want to grant editor wise access to any one of them because there are many unpublished articles I do not yet want them to see. Being able to give selective access without the current method of changing authors of an article would be amazing.
