### Example Configuration
## Write Access
Authenticated users may write messages to a group given the following are true:
1. They are connected security (NNTPS). This is a strict requirement due to how NNTP authenticates in plain-text otherwise.
2. The authenticated user has write [ACS](../../configuration/acs.md) to the target message conference and area.
> :warning: Not all [ACS](../../configuration/acs.md) checks can be made over NNTP. Any ACS requiring a "client" will return false (fail), such as `LC` ("is local?").
## Example Configuration

contentServers: {
nntp: {
allowPosting: true
publicMessageConferences: {
fsxnet: [
