For our company, we have dozens of different Product Managers who might want to make Product Announcements.  Having the ability to assign that right to a selected User Role would be very helpful.

Yes please! 

As a side note, I feel the same way about articles. I’d like this functionality available to users without giving them a seat in the mod console, since we have people who create knowledgebase articles - but do nothing else on the backend.

Right @Kgastaldo !  I see no reason to give someone 20 different powers and abilities when they only need 1 :-)

Hello, @mstruening and @Kgastaldo thanks a lot for posting this idea. I do understand your use case. I'll keep this idea to gather votes and use this as input around a more global reflection around roles.

Word.

It only makes sense to be able to calibrate access to Control for very specific usecases: Product Updates, KB articles, etc…

Articles, Events actually should be available from the front end to be created may be based on access that can also be config. to be achieved based on Ranks.

 

It's an opportunity for engagement

Yes please! This is an old request though -- any chance?

Thanks for this idea, mstruening and to everyone who's added their voice here.

The ability to grant specific content creation rights without full Control Panel access is exactly the kind of use case we're designing for. We're moving this into discovery as part of our granular permissions and content management work, and we'll keep this thread updated as we learn more.
