Privacy Groups

This page of the Privacy user manual is applicable for Privacy 2.0. A new user manual is being written for Privacy 2.1. In the meanwhile, these can be used as a reference as the two versions are similar

In the course of using the plugin, you may find that you are granting access to the same people repeatedly. In such cases, you can use Privacy's Privacy Group feature which allows you define sets of people in any number who often garner the same permissions. To create a Privacy Group:

  1. Click the System Overview link at the top of any screen. From there, you'll find a link on the left sidebar Privacy Groups which will take you to a screen that lists Privacy Groups.

    Privacy Groups

  2. Once click on an existing Privacy Group to edit it or click the Create New Group link (found at the right of the Privacy Groups listing screen) to create a new one.

  3. You will be presented with a screen where you can define the name of the group, a short description and a list of people in this group.

Privacy also provides an easy way to create a Privacy Group based off your registered commenters:

  1. Go to the Commenters listing for your weblog
  2. Select the commenters you wish to add to a Privacy Group
  3. Select the Create a Privacy Group option from the More Actions menu.
