Question
I have created a metadata managed service, and for one the the term sets I define the Submission policy to be Open, instead of Close, as follow:-
But nothing have changes, I thought that specifying the term set to be open will allow users to add terms to the term set, without the need to login to the central administration as I am currently doing.
So basically I have these two questions:-
What are the differences between specifying the Submission policy to be Open or to be Close.
Is there a way to allow users or group of users to be able to add terms to a term set, without the need to login to the central administration site?
Thanks
Solution
Basically selection of submission policy (Open or close) will define whether a user can add new terms in the term store or term store managed by the Managers.
- Anyone can add a new term to an open term set.
- For Closed Term set only administrator can add it. Only people who were identified as contributors to a term set group can add terms to a closed term set in the group
Their are 2 types of term set scope, Global & local.
Local: If you are adding a term to a local term set, you must start this procedure from the site collection to which the term set belongs.
Global: If you are updating a global term set, you can open the Term Store Management Tool from any site.
