Permission adjustment for the invite reviewer feature
On 28 August 2025, we introduced the ‘Inviting reviewers’ feature. This feature allows authors to quickly create reviewers. However, it also means that administrators lose control over user management. Our general authorisation and user management concept intends that only administrators or persons with access to user management should be able to create, edit and delete users. With this feature, we essentially gave all authors the permission to add any number of users (Reviewers) to the LXT platform.
Inviting reviewers
Users that are allowed to edit content are now by default also able to invite others to review their content.
To do so you only have to give the mail address. If no user with that mail address exists, an user will be created and a mail is sent to the mail address allowing the user to set up a password.
All required permissions are then given to the existing user and they are informed by mail about the review opportunity.
If you do not want this option in your system, you could either disable the option “Allow invitation of new reviewers” in your feature management or contact support@bildungsinnovator.com.
How to invite reviewers
Users with edit permissions can either select “Share” in the sidebar on the right hand side and then select “Invite reviewer” or they can select “Invite reviewer” in the permissions dialog.
In both cases a new dialog opens that asks for a mail address.
The toggle “Inform users of their authorization by email.” allows to disable the mail informing the user about their new permission.
Newly created users always receive a mail containing their username and a link to set up a password.
