2318.0. "GPC write regardless" by JGODCL::SHERLOCK (L.U.F.C. The phoenix has risen) Wed Feb 24 1993 12:00

    
    Hi,
    
    One of my users has been granted the "write regardless" privilege
    within Group Conferencing. This means that he should be able to
    reply to topics, whether or not they are reply disabled. However,
    when trying to do so the message "You cannot add further replies
    to this note" is returned. 
    
    Only when the MODERATOR privilege is granted can my user do anything
    "privileged"
    
    I have checked the moderator's management menu, and the conference
    profile (also resident on my system) and they all appear to be OK.  
    (flags etc.)
    
    If my user accesses the same notefile from VMS (same account)
    the "write regardless" privilege works OK. 
    
    I am running ALL-IN-1 V3.0, VMS 5.5-1
    
    Can anyone shed any light on this problem for me ?
    
    Thanks

2318.1Possible fixIOSG::MAURICEBecause of the architect the building fell downWed Feb 24 1993 14:2425
    Hi,
    
    The following lines in oan$write.scp seem to be the problem:
    
    .LABEL ANSWER_NOTE
    !       Check to see if replies are allowed - if the user is a moderator
    !       then we'll let them reply, even if the note is set to be "no reply".
      
            .IF (OA$NOTES_NOTE_REPLY_ALLOWED EQS OA$N) AND -
                (OA$NOTES_MODERATOR_PRIVILEGE EQS OA$N) -
                THEN -
                     .GOTO NO_REPLY_ALLOWED
    
    As you can see there is no test for the "write regardless" privilege.
    You might like to try (I haven't) customising it to
    
            .IF (OA$NOTES_NOTE_REPLY_ALLOWED EQS OA$N) AND -
    		(OA$NOTES_WRITE_PRIVILEGE    EQS OA$N) -
                (OA$NOTES_MODERATOR_PRIVILEGE EQS OA$N) -
                THEN -
                     .GOTO NO_REPLY_ALLOWED
    
    Cheers

    Stuart,
          Thanks for your reply, the example you gave didn't work
    initially, but after correction it worked fine. It should read:
    
    .IF (OA$NOTES_NOTE_REPLY_ALLOWED EQS OA$N) AND -
                    (OA$NOTES_WRITE_PRIVILEGE    EQS OA$N) AND -
                    (OA$NOTES_MODERATOR_PRIVILEGE EQS OA$N) -
                    THEN -
                         .GOTO NO_REPLY_ALLOWED
    
        
     Thanks for your help
