Private Blogs: Permissions for Supermoderators

[tbworld]

I think you are right 'John' I believe on that side of things there is restriction for super-mods. I was coming to the same conclusion although I had not checked the assumption. I was currently in activity stream blog hell.

Now I have a question: if the blog is private, why do we need to select the check-box "Restrict Entry Viewing to Contacts and Blog and Moderators." to have it show as private and restrict it from the activity stream?

My thinking must be off on 'Setting permission for the blog private'. If I have to check that check-box, then what is a private blog besides not being a public blog.

One interesting thing did happen, I was fooling around with the categories the same time you posted. Is when I enabled the categories for blogs, it was the first time the "additional options" section appeared or maybe I overlooked it.

Thanks for your input!

I am going to play around with the blog categories. Your approach might be the simplest method. If all we have to do is toss private blogs into a category called 'PRIVATE BLOGS'

Too much jet lag, I keep spelling "glob" instead of "blog"

Your suggestion is a good one, unless you run secondary groups. If they are a member of a secondary group you will also need to shut off permissions there. In my case that would be a problem, but I might be the exception.

Throwing the private blogs into a category was painless and so far this is the easiest work-around.
