Publication of announcements by a non-administrator

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version - 31.0.8
  • Operating system and version Ubuntu - 24.04.2 LTS
  • Web server and version - Apache/2.4.65
  • Reverse proxy and version - nginx/1.29.1
  • PHP version - 8.3.24
  • Installation method Docker-compose
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? No

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I wanted to grant access to a certain group to write announcements. I read several topics on the forum, and it was written everywhere that it could be configured, but I couldn’t find the settings. Only the admin group can publish now.
I’m attaching a screenshot.

Right after publishing the article, I discovered how to set it up correctly. I’m a bit embarrassed now. The problem was in the translation of the settings panel — in English, everything is much clearer.

Could you please describe the solution?

I’m missing publishing rights for other than admin users, too:

Thanks.

I just found it, too.
