Comment on Participation of Guest Access to Polls

@Hubzilla Support Forum @KlausR

By ‘group’, do you mean a forum channel?

I’ve just tried it out using one of those, and it really isn’t possible to take part in a poll like that with a guest access token (posting comments, on the other hand, works).

I’m not sure, though, where you’d need to go to enable guest access to polls separately.

There is no separate permission for this in the roles.

For the test guest access, I created a ‘Standard-Plus’ contact role that allows everything except uploading to the cloud, editing wikis and web pages, and administration. Even with this contact role assigned, the guest was unable to take part in a poll.

@Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂
Thank you for testing this use case.

With group I mean a privacy group, this means I posted the poll from my channel to several contacts, i.e. I basically did it the same way as you described.

If others would find it useful too, and if technically possible, maybe the participation to polls could generally be linked to another permission, e.g. for posting comments, i.e. if a guest access is permitted to post comments, he is also permitted to participate in polls. This way no separate permission would be necessary.

  @KlausR Ah, OK. So the problem was that the poll was sent to a specific privacy group (i.e. to the connections within that group).
  
  By design, that doesn’t work either, as a guest account doesn’t have its own stream.
  
  Question for @Mario Vavti : Which permission actually applies to polls? I think it should be ‘Can comment on or like my posts’, correct?
