Revision as of 09:33, 5 June 2015
In this section, five tabbed pages are available: General Permissions, Board Permissions, Edit Profiles, Post Moderation, Settings
The User Interface
General Permissions
This page shows a list of all membergroups, along with a few statistics. On the right of each membergroup is a checkbox and a modify link. The checkbox allows the administrator to apply the advanced options to make quick and easy changes to the membergroup permission profiles. The modify link allows the administrator to customize each permission for the usergroup.
Modify
Use the Modify link to the right of the membergroup name to set one or more permissions for the members of this group. Please see List of Permissions for more information on all the permissions, and Moderator for more information on how moderator membergroup works.
Advanced Options
These options allow you to quickly make changes to membergroups. To use them, first select one or more membergroups above by checking the box on the same line with the membergroup name. Then choose to do one of the things listed in the With selection box. When you have completed your selections, use the Set permissions button to make the changes.
For every membergroup selected above:
- Apply pre-defined permission set: Select one of the profile types from the option list to reset permission profiles to one of these four choices.
- Set permissions like this group: Select the name of one of the membergroups from the option list to reset permission profiles to match the membergroup you select here.
- Add/Clear/Deny permission Select Add permission, Clear Permission or Deny Permission from the option list, then select a permission from the (Select a permission) option list. Deny is only present if Enable the option to deny permissions is checked in the settings tab.
Board Permissions
On this page, every board is listed with its corresponding permission profile.
- Selecting the board name will bring you to the board's Modify Boards page in Admin > Forum > Boards.
- Selecting the name of the permission profile on the same line will bring you to the Edit Profiles page for this profile.
- Selecting [Edit All] will allow you to choose a new permission profile from drop-down lists for one or several different boards at once -- click on the "Save" button when you are done.
A more detailed section on this can be found at Board Permissions
Edit Profiles
This page provides ways to create new permission profiles and edit, delete, or rename existing profiles.
Edit Profiles
All the existing permission profiles are listed along with the number of boards using each profile. To modify any existing profile, click on its name. You will then be taken to a page that lists the membergroups and the permissions they have been assigned in relation to this particular permission profile. To change the permissions of a membergroup within this permission profile, click on "Modify" next to the name of the membergroup.
New Profile
- Profile Name - In this box you can define the name of the new permission profile.
- Copy Permissions From - By selecting one of the existing profiles from this dropdown box, the permissions from this profile will be used for the newly created one.
Rename
You can rename permission profiles that you have created, but the four default permission profiles (Default, No Polls, Reply Only, and Read Only) cannot be renamed. When the Rename button is clicked, all the profiles you have created can be renamed, as long as they are not currently assigned to a board. After renaming a profile, make sure that you click on the Save Changes button.
Remove Selected
You can delete any permission profile that you have created. The four default permission profiles (Default, No Polls, Reply Only, and Read Only) cannot be removed. Select the checkbox on the same line as the profile you wish to remove, and then click the Remove Selected button. Note that you can only delete a permission profile if it is not currently assigned to a board.
Post Moderation
Post moderation must be enabled in Core Features for this page to be visible.
In this section admins can define the actions that require Post Moderation for each permission profile. This is a shortcut way of changing some of the permissions in the board permission profiles.
The administrator must first select a profile from the option list and select the go button. For each listed profile, there are four user actions for which post moderation permissions can be set. Each one corresponds to board permissions in the corresponding profile. For each of these user actions, three post moderation options are available.
- Can Create. The members can perform the action without moderation.
- Can Create but Requires Approval. The members can perform the action, but approval is required before becoming visible to all other members.
- Cannot Create. The member cannot perform the action.
| User Action | 
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
| New Topics | Post new topics, without requiring approval | Post new topics, but hide until approved | (neither allowed) |
| Own Replies | Post replies to topics, without requiring approval, own topic | Post replies to topics, but hide until approved, own topic | (neither allowed) |
| Any Replies | Post replies to topics, without requiring approval, any topic | Post replies to topics, but hide until approved, any topic | (neither allowed) |
| Attachments | Post attachments, without requiring approval | Post attachments, but hide until approved | (neither allowed) |
Post moderation cannot be used to set deny permissions even if deny is enabled. The 'cannot create' option in post moderation is only ever disallow.
Settings
- Membergroups allowed to manage permissions - Administrators can select which membergroups are allowed to manage permissions.
- Enable the option to deny permissions - Once enabled along with granting permissions it will be possible also to deny any permission. Denied permissions are not allowed even if the member belong to another membergroup for which the permission is granted.
- Enable permissions for post count based groups - Determines whether or not membergroups based on post count can be used to manage permissions.
