Permissions

Bonjour Delphine,

upps, c’est désagréable.
Est-ce que tu peux décrire en détail que se passe?
Les étappes, la séquance, message d’erreur etc.?
Est-que c’est un novau problème?

Cheers,
Digitari

Hi all,
We’ve learned, belatedly, that even after someone leaves a group, they still have access to any and all of the pages they created while a member of the group. This is not what we expected. The pages are owned by the group, as they should be. But both the group (owner) and the individual (creator) have full access. The creator can alter the access of the group to that page (full, write, read, or none), but the group can’t alter the access of the creator. The creator can’t even remove their own access!

I’d imagine this is problematic for many groups, as it is for ours. People come and go as active members, and somebody has to create the pages, but the pages and data need to remain secure to the group, not accessible to every member that ever created pages for it. Is there any way to deal with this, apart from someone recreating all the pages? For future reference, is there a way for the group itself to be the creator of a page, rather than an individual user? Thanks.

Hi there, any updates on the security/permissions problem I described above (on July 4)? Thanks.

Hi bhadda,

Thanks for getting back. We’re looking into the underlying problem which is based in how we organize the datastructure to begin with.

First thing we will do is to allow users to remove themselves from pages even if they will loose all access by doing so as long as they are not the owner. We originally intended this restriction to prevent pages left without an admin. But as long as one is not the owner that case should be covered.

I uploaded a gimp file to facilitate the translation of the chart.

Good night, can someone help me with the invitation to create an email. I really need this email on this platform.

Thankful.

Boa noite, alguem pode me ajudar com o convite para criar um e-mail. Estou precisando muito desse e-mail nessa plataforma.

Grato.

Hi elliot
It seems that you misunderstood something about different riseup networks. As indicated on the ‘we.riseup.net’ welcome page (check when you’re not connected), creating/owning an account on we.riseup.net and creating/owning an e-mail adress on mail.riseup.net are NOT the same things. According to this :
- if you need an e-mail account (which you seem to be looking for) you have to get an invite code by someone who already owns an account on mail.riseup.net. & I think it is not really the right place here to ask for that…
- if you need a we.riseup.net account — by the way you seem to own it already (as soon as you can write on this forum) — you have to create this account using the we.riseup.net welcome page and then you can use the messaging system embedded in the crabgrass (using the me>messages interface) which only allows you to send private messages to people who own an account on we.riseup.net… and NOT to any kind of e-mail adress.
Hope it helps (even late, it may help other people)

@azul now (or maybe some other riseup bird, or maybe @abbe)
Is there any easy answer about the question asked by abbe on jan-29-2016 ? (cf previous forum page)
Me & my group are stuck with the same problem… even after creating a council, any member of the group (i.e. not in the council, nor in any comittee) can have access to any comittee parameters — i mean for exemple, renaming, adding/deleting members, or even deleting the comittee :/
Is this normal ? I expected that creating a council would give different kind of permissions.
By the way : thank you riseup for this crabgrass tool ! We needed it & we love you !

Hello everybody!
We would like to invite new members to our small collective. But opening a new account is blocked for weeks now and I cannot find any information about this. Can you help?
Thank you so much!
