Centrally manage blog entries and comments for a moderated
blog before the content is published to a blog, or when the published
content is updated.
About this task
If moderation is enabled for Blogs, moderators can review
and approve comments and entries from a central location. You can
configure who can review and approve content through the Java EE global-moderator
role in the WAS admin console. All users assigned the J2EE global-moderator
role can manage entries and comments for all blogs on the site. You
can also configure who can review and approve community blog content
with a setting in the contentreview-config.xml file
as follows:
- If
ownerModerate=true
in contentreview-config.xml,
all community owners can moderate the blogs in communities that they
own.
- If
ownerModerate=false
in contentreview-config.xml,
only users assigned the Java EE global-moderator role can manage entries
and comments for all blogs on the site.
