Registered users cannot add a link. I've gone over my settings about 10 times and can_add_link is authorized for the Registered Users Usergroup. When they try to add a link for that category they are told they do not have the permissions to do so.

What am I missing here?

From what you say, I assume that the registered users are actually seeing an "Add Entry" command on the tool bar and when they click on this, they receive a *you do not have permission to access this page* form.

New entries come in two forms:
- Links to existing files [*can_link_files* permission]
- Uploads [*can_upload_files* permission]

The situation I described happens if you give a usergroup *can_add_link* permission but take away both *can_link_files* and *can_upload_files*.

If I've misunderstood, let me know. Sorry if this was confusing - maybe I need to tighten up this error message as you are not the first person to be confused.
