Authenticated user setup?
I am getting back in glinks after a long-time and I still have version 3.0.4

In the "Build Settings" area of Setup Options, you have the following:

build_auto_validate All links require admin/editor approval (recommended).
Links submitted by authenticated users are auto-validated.
All links are auto-validated (not recommended).

Who exactly are "authenticated users" - how do I setup authenticated users - is there something in the User table (in status dropdown menu) that I need to setup?

I would like all new links to be validated after Admin Approval, except for some users (authenticated?), who need to be approved as "authenticated users" first and they can add/modify links and each link added or updated does need to be approved. How do I achieve this?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't believe you can do what you want with the default installation of links but would be possible with a plugin.

I think Andy made a plugin that may be able to do what you want. Wait I'm sure he will see your post!

Hi,

I think "authenticated user" is any registered user(signed up and validated if required at User options settings) and logged in. So, if you have this option - "Links submitted by authenticated users are auto-validated" set, any logged in users can add/modify their links automatically.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Tandat - So, your "Trusted User" mod will allow me to do what I want?

Yes, that should be. With that, only selected users who is logged in can add/modify links without admin's validation. With the options's setting (authenticated users), all logged in user can add/modify links without admin's validation.

I have used "Trusted User" plugin and would say it is very easy to use and works like a charm.

Hope this helps.
