Hello All, my question is this, I will like to  be the only one who can embed videos , place events, and photos but I am running into problems. My steps is, this I go into my admin office and select  the privacy and permission option and then click into roles for me to have these permissions as the admin and, select for my users to not  have theses permissions but, when I return Back to the website I notice it does removes a normal user from having access to upload embed videos place events, and photos but, it also removes the button for me as the admin to add new videos, or place events or photos as well.


Plainly put I will like my users to only view and comment on the videos, the events, and photos,  I will like it for me to be the only one to place them on  my website. Can you guys help?

The default roles are guests and users.Have you tried creating a role for yourself.

On the user roles page in the admin panel the default roles are guests and members. I changed  mine up to be "couples""single  males""single  females "and "site admin". So I have 4 user roles, and have some things turned on for myself "site admin" by setting the permissions.
