Every member of a forum belongs to a membergroup. A membergroup consists of members that you pick the members to be a part of and you choose the permissions allowed to the membergroup.
There two basic types of membergroups:
- Post-Count based membergroup - Where the member's post count automatically determines the membergroup into which the member is placed.
- Non-post count based membergroup - Where group membership is chosen manually. These include
- Private - Membership must be assigned by a member with the appropriate permission
- Protected - Only administrators can manage and assign
- Requestable - Member may request membership
- Free - Member may leave and join group at will
