Publishing permissions

What are publishing permissions?

Publishing permissions control who in your workspace can publish stories, and to which locations, whether that’s using Shorthand hosting or a self-hosted option set up by your team.

In some Shorthand plans, all team members have equal access to publishing settings and locations and there is no explicit marking of users as Team Leaders. In those cases, all workspace members have the equivalent of the permissions that would otherwise be available to team leaders.

In other plans, publishing locations and permissions are set by the workspace owner or team leaders. In these cases, it is up to the workspace owner and/or team leaders to decide who can publish and to which locations.

You can see who in your teams can and can't publish to each location on the team settings page. There you'll find a table of all the team members and their role within the team (a leader or member), and columns for each publishing option available to the team with checks for each member who can publish there.

If your plan includes team leaders and your publishing permissions need to be changed, contact your team leader.

If you are a team leader and wish to change publishing options for members of your team, you can do so by simply clicking on the checks or slashes to change the permissions for any user within your team.
