# Feeds permissions

The Feeds module uses a permission system to control access to the various features.

## Available permissions

* **Add feeds** (`ADD_FEEDS`) : create automatic and manual feeds
* **Delete feeds** (`DELETE_FEEDS`) : remove existing feeds
* **Rename feeds** (`RENAME_FEEDS`) : change the title of manual feeds
* **Change visibility** (`UPDATE_ORGANIZATION_FEED`) : change the communities that have access to a feed
* **Manage webhooks** (`UPDATE_MANUAL_FEED`) : enable/disable webhooks for manual feeds
* **Add articles** (`ADD_MANUAL_ARTICLE`) : add articles to a manual feed
* **Delete articles** (`DELETE_MANUAL_ARTICLE`) : remove articles from manual feeds
* **View statistics** (`SEE_ARTICLE_VIEWS`) : view the views and readers of a feed's articles

## Standard user

Collaborators without specific permissions can:

* View the feeds they have access to (through their communities)
* Read articles
* View the statistics of articles they themselves added

## Who can view an article's statistics

Three profiles, and no one else:

* the **organization administrators**, on all articles
* the**article author**, that is, the person who added it to a manual curation feed
* the **community administrators of the feed** in which the article is published

Since a feed visible to the whole organization is not restricted to any community, its statistics are accessible only to organization administrators (and to the article author).

## Assigning permissions

Feeds permissions are managed by organization administrators from the Feeds app settings. Rights related to a feed (editing it, renaming it, deleting it, adding or removing articles, viewing the statistics of its articles) are also granted to the administrators of the communities for which that feed is intended.
