Selection of Bloggers and Readers 

 
In the New Blog wizard we have to select the roles of members of the scene in the new blog. This can be done by basic role types in the scene (for example, Professors will be bloggers, and Students can only read the posts and comment, or user by user (this way for example, some students can be given Blogger status).

If the Readers are only Students, then select the 'Students' option in the relevant menu, this way all students will be Readers. 

 

Custom settings

If you would like to select the roles user by user, click on 'Custom settings'. 

By putting the ticks in the appropriate columns, you can give rights to all users in the tool individually.
