    Hi, I have a problme with users editing a channel field.

    When they edit it…the status defaults to closed.  They cannot change the status to open.  They are the editor and can change who the editor is.  The member account has the following settings:

    Can access the control panel? Yes        
    Can access CONTENT section Yes        
    Can access CONTENT: Publish Yes        
    Can access CONTENT: Edit Yes        
    Can access CONTENT: File Manager Yes

    Can administrate channels and channel preferences Yes

    Can view channel entries authored by others Yes

    Can edit entries authored by others Yes
    Can change the author name when posting channel entries Yes
    Can post and edit entries in:  flickr Yes (the channel field in question)


    In the channel preferences:

    Default Status   Open

    How can I make it so they have access to change the status (this should already be happening with the current setting I believe).  And, how do I make it so that their posts are by default open status.

    I’m betting you don’t have a status group assigned to the channel.
