_Recently I tweeted about how the new Grav 1.7 user management features could be configured to support multiple editors for the Grav Open MultiCourse Hub, and I thought I would share them here:_

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">So, how could the new <a href="https://twitter.com/getgrav?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@getgrav</a> 1.7 user management feature be setup for multiple editors for my Grav Open MultiCourse Hub, so each user can have editing access to one or more courses? Below is sample MultiCourse Hub with three different courses (CPT363-1, CPT363-2 and CPT363-3)👇🏼 <a href="https://twitter.com/hibbittsdesign/status/1358874005982224384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 4, 2021</a></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One approach would be to set up Admin Panel users as usual, so for this example let&#39;s create two example users (i.e. course editors): cpt363-1 and cpt363-2👇🏼 <a href="https://t.co/pyH3OWkpwq">pic.twitter.com/pyH3OWkpwq</a></p>&mdash; Hibbitts Design (@hibbittsdesign) <a href="https://twitter.com/hibbittsdesign/status/1358874916238413824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<br>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Then, we could set up two groups, which is where we would select specific permissions to be shared with all editors👇🏼 <a href="https://t.co/DBEbDpKx6P">pic.twitter.com/DBEbDpKx6P</a></p>&mdash; Hibbitts Design (@hibbittsdesign) <a href="https://twitter.com/hibbittsdesign/status/1358875387153977346?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<br>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Next, for each of our previously created users, we can assign them to a group and based on Pages (folders) modify these setting to include the ability to also Create, Update, and Delete pages👇🏼 <a href="https://t.co/PqNuv1CsHJ">pic.twitter.com/PqNuv1CsHJ</a></p>&mdash; Hibbitts Design (@hibbittsdesign) <a href="https://twitter.com/hibbittsdesign/status/1358875880181821440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<br>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">And really, that&#39;s it! With this example user cpt363-1 could edit any page of CPT363-1 (first image shown), while only being able to view pages in CPT-363-2 (second image shown)👇🏼 All pages not assigned to a group can be edited by all editors. <a href="https://t.co/u5oRaaTimJ">pic.twitter.com/u5oRaaTimJ</a></p>&mdash; Hibbitts Design (@hibbittsdesign) <a href="https://twitter.com/hibbittsdesign/status/1358876787380420608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
