By default, the groups in your workspace allow all members to create content. You can also limit content creation to only group owners or admins. As a third option, our post moderation settings allow you to set up a publishing workflow where group members can submit posts to be approved and published by the group's admins and group owners.
For Admins and Group Owners
For Group Members
Configuring a group to allow member-submitted posts
Allowing group members to submit posts for approval and publish is configured on a group-by-group basis. As an admin or group owner, you'll need to configure this option in your group's settings:
Visit the group where you'd like to allow post submissions.
In the group header, click the dropdown arrow and select Settings.
On the setting modal, click Permission Settings.
In the Who can create posts? section, configure the settings to allow post submission and approval.
In this configuration, only admins can post in the group and approve member-submitted posts.
In this configuration, both admins and group owners can post in the group and approve member-submitted posts.
Click Save to update the group's settings. Group members will now be able to create posts and submit them for approval in this group.
Approving or denying post submissions
When a post is submitted by a group member, admins and/or group owners (depending on how the group settings are configured in step #4 above) will receive an email and in-app notification that a new post needs review.
Click on the downward arrow next to the create button and select Needs Review.
A modal will open which houses a list of posts submissions, along with the post's author, group, and submission date.
To immediately approve the post click on Publish or click on the three-dotted button next to the post to View Pending Post where you can edit, publish, or deny as needed.
If published the post will be published to the requested group and if denied the requested post will go back to the post author's drafts. In both cases, the post author will receive a notification about the action taken on their post.
Submitting a post for approval and publish
Click the Create button in the page header, next to your account dropdown.
Select Post in the create modal.
Select the group in which you'd like to submit a post for publish. You'll see a Requires Approval next to the group name.
Create your post as usual. Learn more about using the content editor.
Click Submit. A pop-up will appear on the screen to confirm your submission, click Submit Post for Approval to send to your admins or group owners.
You'll receive a notification when your post is approved or denied for publication.
