Permissions Table - MapStory/mapstory GitHub Wiki
As a social platform, MapStory gives different powers to different visitors to the site. The table below helps us track some of what 3 types of visitors to the site should see and be able to do: 1) Any visitor 2) A logged in User and 3) An Admin. As new features become available we can continually refine this table.
