How to get permissions to post comments in the new SAP Community such as Coffee Corner etc

Oct 11, 2016 at 03:51 PM | 453 Views

hi all,

Ive been looking around the new site today and wanted to post a comment in coffee corner, and indeed in the Q&A section as well but each time I try I get this message:

"We're sorry, but you do not have enough permissions to post a comment.
If you believe this to be in error, contact your system administrator."

So imy question is what do I need to change to allow me to post comments?

thanks,

Ian

    Hello Ian Rayner,

    Now you don't have sufficient permissions to comment Questions/Discussion and your questions/answers will go to pre-moderation first. But it will be available soon as it's temporarily.

    It was already described in the following question: https://answers.sap.com/questions/28979/answers-to-questions-are-not-posted.html .

    Thanks for your patience,

    Volha

    Hi Ian, I would have written a "me too" comment if I were allowed to. ;-) ( desparately looking where the emojis have gone)

    Edit - this post was published via moderator and has the timestamp when the moderator published it. I wouldn't have posted this after those valuable answers by Sajid and Volha.

    I would comment on the responses but I haven't got the right permissions still so cannot, so will put them all in here.

    The response from Sajid did say "Subscribers can comment on posts"...I cannot comment without suitable permissions so all I can do is to submit an answer, when all I actually want to do is to post a comment. aaaagh lol.

    I'm just finding this really frustrating at the moment.

    thanks,

    Ian

      Hello Ian, Veselina, Steffi, I am so sorry as I misunderstood the question. I thought that Ian was having trouble with the blogging permissions. I apologize for the mistake. The question is actually regarding Q&A permissions as Steffi suggested.

      Glad to see that you can comment, Ian!
