 * I am managing a community blog for a research lab and they want to be able to
   upload files as well as make new categories and links. I would be more than happy
   to give them all that, but I don’t want them to be admins (as the options would
   surely be overwhelming for most). How can I give users the privilege to make 
   links, categories, and to upload files?

 * hi
    as u know user premissions r with numbers ! just change the level 4 uploading
   to 1 or 2 in options and make them 1 or 2 in level ! so they r not admin ( they
   have a few privilages ) and they can upload files 😉 Ali ix

 * thanks a lot! That solved one problem. Anybody have an idea on how to allow categories
   and links tabs through permissions? Thanks!

    There is a links_minadminlevel in options–>link manager that works as upload
   premission 😉 But i dont know if there is 4 categories or not 😉 Ali ix
