Mark default "Author" for entities for users who are part of an organization

[lightw1s3]

Use case

A functionality is proposed whereby when a user creates content on the platform, if the user belongs to an organisation, the Author field will automatically be set to that organisation and no other organisation can be selected.

This is especially useful in the Enterprise version when you have to manage knowledge entered from several organisations so that none of them can publish information ‘on behalf of another’.

Current Workaround

Currently, the only way to do this is to enter all users in an organisation into a group and associate a new marking to both the group and the organisation so that this knowledge is only visible to them. However, this is a problem because when you manage multiple organisations it means managing multiple markings both at the group level in headquarters and from the main organisation, which could lead to security problems in terms of information handling.

Proposed Solution

An attribute could be managed from Security > Organisations as a switch where ‘Default Author’ could be activated. If this were active, users found in that organisation, at the time of entering knowledge, would not be able to modify the Author attribute.
