Abandon Local `Default Access` Setting in News

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

When creating news items, you have the option of creating them for registered users or for public access.There is a selection option (radio group) for this whilst drafting a post.

For this setting, a default access value can be set within the container in which the news item is created.
This is what we call the ‘local default’.

In addition, the same setting must be defined globally.Finally, the local default is derived from the global default, which is then displayed to the author of the news item – who can change it anyway.

We can assume that the user writing a news item wishes to make a conscious decision. We can also assume that, from an operational perspective, we want to provide a default setting.

To reduce complexity, however, we wish to remove the level of a local default.
The location of the setting to be abandoned is [Object] » Settings ›› News Settings.
