Changing who can see your article? You can quickly remove user groups from accessing your article from the article editor and the content list.
π€ Woah hold up. If you're removing the only Permission group or role you might make it public by accident. Be sure that's what you want to do.
Owners, Administrators, and Editors who can edit an article can make it public, and we'll warn you first.
Someone who can only read public content has to keep at least one group or role on it. Apply changes stays disabled until they do. If the key icon is blue and you can't click it, the article's category enforces its permissions, so they're set there instead.

Removing a Group's Access
You can remove a permission group from an article from the article editor in a few clicks.
- Head to the article editor
- Click the
key icon in the toolbar - Click X on the group name you'd like to remove
- Click Apply changes
- Hit Save
The change applies as soon as you hit Save, even if the rest of your edits are still waiting to be published.
- Head to Content
- Click the key icon on the right of the article's row
- Click X on the group name you wanna remove
- Click Apply changes
There's nothing else to save here. The change applies as soon as you click Apply changes.
Owners, Administrators, and Editors can remove every permission group and role from a selection of articles in one go:
- Head to Content
- Check the box next to each article
- Click Bulk edit
- Open the Actions tab
- Click Make public
- Confirm in the dialog
Drafts stay drafts and unlisted articles stay unlisted. Articles you can't edit keep their permissions, and so do articles inside a category that enforces them. We'll list skipped ones.
