Hi,

I want to setup a teamblog, where one or two people from an external company can write and publish blog articles in a separate blog category on my website.

1) External people should be able to add, edit and publish articles in one special category only.
2) In frontend editing article section, team members will only see articles of the own team.
3) Articles, which are published in this category are public - everyone can see them.
4) New articles of these team members shall be published under the same company name (Authors Frank and Susi are adding new articles. These articles are published under the team name "Super Company").

Is this possible? I am trying to accomplish this, and I also read the documentation, but its not clear how to finally configure that.

Thanks,
Alex
Hi Alex,
1) External people should be able to add, edit and publish articles in one special category only.
You can configure which user group can create articles in the category from that category's permissions area(http://take.ms/cYmaZ).

If you aggregate these user to a separate user group, you can further configure permissions based on this user group in the ACL section.
2) In frontend editing article section, team members will only see articles of the own team.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'frontend editing article section'. Perhaps you can elaborate more or provide screenshot of this page?
3) Articles, which are published in this category are public - everyone can see them.
This is possible by configuring the category's permissions as I pointed out at 1).
4) New articles of these team members shall be published under the same company name (Authors Frank and Susi are adding new articles. These articles are published under the team name "Super Company".
In the blog listing, actually the author/category/teamblog info will be shown(http://take.ms/yEVZ9). If you do not want to show the author's name, you can also disable it in the view setting, but it will also be hidden for non teamblog posts.
