Manage moderated blog entries and comments
Centrally manage blog entries and comments for a moderated blog before the content is published to a blog, or when the published content is updated.
About this task
If moderation is enabled for Blogs, moderators can review and approve comments and entries from a central location. You can configure who has the right to review and approve content through the J2EE moderator role in the WAS admin console. All users assigned the J2EE moderator role can manage entries and comments for all blogs on the site. You can also configure who has the right to review and approve content with a setting in the contentreview-config.xml file as follows:
- If ownerModerate=true in contentreview-config.xml, all owners can moderate the blogs they own.
- If ownerModerate=false in contentreview-config.xml, only users assigned the J2EE moderator role can manage entries and comments for all blogs on the site.
