This page provides step-by-step instructions on how to add an administrator or user with blog editor permissions on a Sueetie BlogEngine.NET blog
ASP.NET Roles in Play
Sueetie and BlogEngine.NET roles are based on ASP.NET so each blog will require its own Role. To assign a user as an owner of our "Business" blog, we first create the ASP.NET Role in Sueetie Administration. We'll call the new Role
bgBusinessAdmin.Here's the naming convention for BlogEngine.NET Roles in Sueetie.
- First Two Letters: "bg." We'll most likely want to add role filtering for sites with 10's and 100's of blogs, so we'll use "bg" as our (future) Role Filter string.
- Blog ApplicationKey. "Business" is our Business Blog's Application Key.
- Admin This is a relative term, signifying the user has ownership privileges of the blog as you assign in BlogEngine.NET.
Assign the Role to the User
Our Business Blogger's name is Biz Blogger. We'll give him the "bgBusinessAdmin" role.
Assign Admin-Editor Role to the Sueetie Blog
We're next going to give our new role ownership of the Business blog. A few incidentals as presented in the screenshot. 1) The "bgBusinessAdmin" Role must have the "Blog Owner" property to appear in the Owner Role dropdown list (see screenshot above), 2) One ownership role per blog, 3) The BlogAdministrator Role has full rights to all blogs, the "Blog Owner" has the rights you assign for this blog in BlogEngine.NET.
Apply the ASPNET Role Rights to the Blog
That's all we have to do in Sueetie. Now over to BlogEngine.NET in an account with BlogAdministrator rights and go into the Admin section of our Business blog. We select "bgBusinessAdmin" and "rights."
We're going to copy the rights from our Sueetie "BlogEditor" role and go from there. You can add the rights unique to your community and user.
Add a Profile.xml
BlogEngine.NET uses properties in the user's Profile.xml to display the author friendly name and other properties. Display Name is the only profile.xml item in use at Sueetie.com. Go into the blog's Container area and copy the existing admin.xml and modify the
property and any others which may be in use on your blogs.
Reboot
No, don't
really reboot. You may wish to restart Sueetie and re-login with the user to be sure the new ownership permissions are in effect.
p.s. For any old timers, this is a lot easier than it used to be, eh? :-)
