====== Writers ======

As the blog's owner and administrator, you would like other people (friends, family, colleagues...) to be able to write on your blog from their own account?

\\

===== Add a new user =====

To do so, all you need to do is click **Writers** in the left-hand administration menu. 

Type the Gandi login for the user you wish to invite in the **Invite a new writer** field. 

Once you have typed the login and clicked the **invite** button, an interface will ask you which permissions you wish to grant to the new writer.

Here is a quick description of possible permissions:

  * **manage their own entries and comments** : The user is allowed to create entries and to access comments to the entries that belong to him.

  * **publish entries and comments** : The user can change the publication status on his own entries and on its comments.

  * **delete entries and comments** : The user can delete his own entries and its comments. 

  * **manage all entries and comments** : The user can completely manage the blog's entries, regardless of their author.

  * **manage categories** : The user can create, edit, and delete categories.

  * **manage their own media items** : The user can add and manage his own media.

  * **manage all media items** : The user can manage any media.

  * **manage blogroll** : The user can manage the blogroll

<note warning>
To be able to connect, the user must at least have the //manage their own entries and comments// or //manage all entries and comments// permission.
</note>

\\

===== Modifying permissions for an invited user =====

When you access the **Writers** interface, the users who have access to your blog will be displayed here. Just click **change permissions** by their user name to modify the permissions for the selected user.

\\

===== Revoke access to a user on your blog =====

To delete access to your blog to a given user, change his permissions and remove them all, and **Save**. The user will then have disappeared from your blog's invited writer list.
