Re: [support] How-to allow other users to edit content created by others

How do I allow other users to edit content others have created?

For example, user1 creates a story. user1 can edit the story. How can I give user2 rights to edit the story as well? There is a permission for "edit own content" under stories but there is no "edit all content" under stories. This seems like a severe limitation to me.

Thanks, David

Modify the code for the story.module.

Specifically, edit line number 32, thusly:

return array('create stories', 'edit own stories');

to something like:

return array('create stories', 'edit own stories', 'edit any stories');

And add something like the following to the story_access() function:

if ($op == 'update' || $op == 'delete') { if (user_access('edit any stories')) { return TRUE; } }
