Please note you have to be an Editor or the Purchaser to add Authors.

You may not want someone to write a story about every story prompt. That's why we make it possible to change a user's role for every story prompt. If you want a someone to just be an author to a small number of story prompts, there are two easy ways to do that:

Option 1: This is best if you want a Reader for all or most of the book to contribute writing about just a small number of stories.

For instance, let's say you've set up Uncle Robert as a Reader, but want him to also write about "What were your fondest memories of Grandma Anna?". To do so, in the Stories section of the dashboard, click on the people icon next to that story prompt. This brings up the Story Prompt Roles dialogue box. All users are listed in that box. Just change Uncle Robert from a Reader to an Author for that particular story prompt and click Save. When that story prompt is sent, Uncle Robert will now have the ability to contribute as an Author.

Option 2:  This is best if you want someone to just write a small number of stories, but not have rights to read other stories.

Let's say Max is a neighbour from down the street. You want him to write about "What was Mulberry Street like in the 70s?", but you don't want him to read or write about other stories in the book. In this case, Max should be a Guest user. (If you need help in setting up Max as a user, please click this help article.) In the Stories section of the dashboard, click on the people icon next to that story prompt. This brings up the Story Prompt Roles dialogue box. All users are listed in that box. Just change Max from "None" to an "Author" for that particular story prompt and click Save. When that story prompt is sent, Max will now have the ability to contribute as an Author.
