Who can approve or reject news?
Only editors can approve or reject news.
Editors are defined when the news approval workflow is activated and is active on a space level. This means that editors have to be defined for every space which should use the news approval workflow.
Define editors
Navigate to the space tools of a space in which you want to setup an approval workflow.
Click on the Space tools button, then click on the Permissions button.
Here, select the News Approval Workflow tab.
In the Users / groups field, enter the users or user groups that should be able to edit, approve or reject blog posts.
Want everyone to be able to publish news again? Remove all editors from the News Approval Workflow tab!
