Description

Should the Contributor have the upload function?
When a Contributor write a post and cannot add images to the post, it complicates the task for Editor! Contributor cannot publish so why would it harm to let them upload some media files?

  • Milestone 2.5 deleted
  • Priority changed from high to normal
  • Type changed from defect to enhancement

Please leave adding a milestone to the core team, and don't set ticket priority to high unless it's a serious bug (minor enhancements do not fall into this category).

  • Keywords needs-patch added
  • Severity changed from major to minor

Adding which version this is for would help, too, and if you really want this to go through I suggest you write a patch.

Replying to link2caro:

My guess as why this isn't the experience today is because a contributor could then link to that uploaded file from other sites (hot linking), and maybe there are also security implications?

  • Component changed from Administration to Security
  • Keywords needs-patch removed
  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

Existing capabilities suit most. Plugins can modify.
