Hi !Hubzilla Support Forum

I created a permissions table to help !Disroot Community users. I've read the help page and ahve spend a long time testing each permission for each channel role.
I would love to have some feedback, to see if I didn't do any mistakes or if you have idea to improve this work.

Thanks a lot

That's pretty cool. Thanks for your work.

Great!

I have a few suggestions you may consider.

You have five colours for different sets of permissions, light green, green, yellow, orange and red. Visually these clash, the same tone will not render well on a black and white printer, and it is not immediately clear what the colours represent, e.g a scale of permissiveness in some direction or something else. We can assume things that are orange are similar, but how?

Here is nice page about coloring data sets.

Very good explaination. That help me to understand the new role federation that I did not understand before.

Federation can receive private message and comment from all not only from my conection list.

Do you have this table in other format ? This is only a picture.

Table in HTML, BBcode and SVG would be nice.

kris and Haakon: When I'm completely done, I will share it in a more open format. I actually did that on ethercal so I can get it in .csv, in html or in excel (ethercal doesn't export in .ods for some reason)

I have it in .ods, @meaz
Let me know if you wanted and I send it.

@meaz Very helpful cheatsheet, thank you! I'd like to link to this image (or html page if it appears) on a website. So I'm very interested in a link that will not break in the future. Can I safely use the link to this image? Or, perhaps, will you consider creating a git repo somewhere? Then you could continue updating the files and still not change file name / path, so they're always accessible.

Important: changing from an open channel role to a more restricted one doesn't change the permissions already set

Is there another method for restricting access to files/photos?

Sun, 13 May 2018 03:56:00 +0200

Edit your files or photos and look for a little lock/unlock icon.

God I wish I'd noticed that lock icon before asking a stupid question.

Sun, 13 May 2018 05:34:23 +0200

There are no stupid questions here.

@lightone You can download the image and add it here somewhere you're sure it won't be deleted if you want.
As soon as I have more time, I'll convert it to markdown and add it on gitlab.

To do this, I think it could be convenient on Hubzilla to publish it as an Article :

It is a good format for important content to endure over time
You can create by yourself an easy to record and short url for it, suitable for easy sharing
Modifying/updating the content doesn't alter the url

@meaz I saved the image, but thought it would be nicer to link to your repo/hub, since you're the author :) I'll upload the image directly to website for now, and later change for the link to your GitLab repo. Thanks!
