Overview

User A can create posts on behalf of User B. The published post appears in User B's name. The setting is general, not per channel: User A can post on behalf of User B in every channel where both are members.

Prerequisites

• You and the person you post for are both members of the channel.
• If you create a post in several channels at once, you can only select authors who are members of all selected channels. If nobody meets this requirement, the option is not shown.

Moved and duplicated posts

When you move a post to another channel, the original author only stays if they are a member of the target channel and you may post on their behalf there. Otherwise, you become the author. A warning tells you this before you confirm the move. See How do I move a post to another channel?

When you duplicate a post, the original author only stays if you can select them as author in all selected channels. Otherwise, you become the author of the copy. See How can I duplicate a post?
