Read our Farewell Blog Post for more details.
All these settings are done in user manager. I'm going my memory here so I hope I get this right...
FRONTEND
author - can write, submit for publication
editor - can write and edit others work and submit for publication
publisher - can write, edit and publish
BACKEND
Manager can do many tasks from the backend Joomla cpanel THAT authors, editors and publishers cannot. Such as create contacts, manage other tasks.
can we limit author in FRONTEND when he or she write, summit but can't change the property of the article such as section, catagory, show on Front Page and so on
What I did when I first started was I set up users calling them author, editor, publisher then logged in as that user to really get to know and understand what the options were. This helped much. You will have to use different emails so use This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., etc. Same for username and password. I think they can be the same, as in author, author.
Don't leave these when you publish, obviously they would be really easy to figure out.
