Setting Announcement Permissions

By default, any member of a site can read announcements. Instructors and Organizers can also create, revise, and delete announcements and change permissions associated with the Announcements tool.

To change the default permission settings for all participants in a given role on your site, access the Announcements tool and follow these steps:

1. If you do not see the Announcements list on the Announcements home page, click the Reset button.
   
   
2. Click Permissions in the Announcements menu bar. Sakai displays the Permissions list for announcements for the site.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Click appropriate check boxes to set permissions. You have the following options for each role:
   
   

   Role	Description
   read	Users in this role are allowed to view and read announcements.
   new	Users in this role are allowed to create new announcements.
   delete.any	Users in this role are allowed to delete any announcement on the site.
   delete.own	Users in this role are allowed to delete only those announcements they have created.

4. After you have changed the permissions, click Save. Or, to exit and revert back to your current settings, click Cancel.
   

The permission changes you have entered take effect immediately.
