As a registered and logged-in user, you're ready to start posting content.

Permissions
What types of content you can create or edit depends on the privileges that have been assigned to the "role" or user group you're a member of. In general, to find out what you can do:

  • On your user menu (the collection of links that has your user name as a title), look for a link that says "create content". Click this to get a listing of the types of content you have permission to post.
  • Or else on a particular page, look for links at the bottom of an article. These links say things like "12 comments" (if there are comments that have been made on the article) and "read more" (if you're looking at a short version of an article). If one of these links say "edit this page", you have permissions to edit that type of content.
