Kaymo: /* Check capability to add blog entries */

{{Roles}}There are two slightly different ways of acheiving this role. The first role will let you grant permission to users to use the blog system. The second will allow you to prohibit users from using the blog system. Depending on how many users you want to allow access to the blog facility, will determine the best method for you to use.

==Method 1 - Allow Users to use the Blog System==

The role of '''Blogger''' may be used to limit blogging to specific users only.

===Removing the capability to add blog entries===

By default, all authenticated users may add blog entries. To remove this capability:

#Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''.
#Click the edit icon opposite the [[Authenticated user|authenticated user]] role.
#Change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/blog:create|moodle/blog:create]] from allow to not set.
#Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.

===Role set-up===

#Access ''Administration>Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''.
#Click the button "Add a new role".
#Give the role a name, such as "Blogger", short name and description.
#Choose the "system" context type
#Change the capability moodle/blog:create to allow.
#Click the button "Create this role".

===Role assignment===

#Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles''.
#Choose the blogger role to assign.
#Select a user in the potential users list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add it to the existing users list.

==Method 2 - Prohibit Users from using the Blog System==

The role of ''no-blog'' may be used to restrict users from using the blog system if they have abused it.

===Check capability to add blog entries===

Ensure that all authenticated users have the ability to add blog entries (they do bt default!)

#Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''.

#Going down the Role Column, locate the row where the [[Authenticated user|authenticated user]] role is shown
#To edit this role: click the cog icon located in the Edit column (right hand side)
#Change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/blog:create|moodle/blog:create]] , if it is set to anything else, to allow.
#Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.
