I've been setting up XenForo forums for many years and this just blew my mind! 🤯 Thank you, Paul, for clearing up this permissions madness for us once and for all!

Thank you very much, appreciate such explanations very much ! I have also found that when building additional member groups it is quite important to assign the appropriate permissions.

This guide is still relevant for XF2 and should be required reading for new admins. Everyone's usergroups have different needs, but aside from "banned" it's hard to imagine a scenario where you wouldn't set Registered as the primary group.

Excellent resource. Coming from vBulletin, I was indeed misinterpreting the hierarchical/cumulative permissions structure in Xenforo. That meant effectively that I was inadvertently denying certain permissions to admins and moderators because they weren't also in the registered users group. Thank you.

Good to read! The first step to take is configure permissions and even if i had a good idea about groups, this resource was welcomed.

Excellent information. Seems that most of us need to learn the basics before we have permission conflicts.
I am as guilty as sin.
Since reading this I have dropped groups, move all users and set the permissions up right.
thanks for taking the time to write this useful article.

Excellent ! I think this guide must be included in the documentation.
Because many people use user group in the wrong way

Thanks for your help !

Although I already had a hunch that permissions worked this way, I needed to make sure that what I've been doing so far was correct. Thanks for the reassurance!

Thank you explaining everything with suitable examples. I was little-bit confused in xenforo forum permissions, but, Now I got a clear picture on group permissions.

Thanks again Brogan.

Thank you for writing this. It is a different way of doing it for sure, but after learning how it works, it's actually easier and better than other implementations I've seen. So again, thank you Brogan for taking the time to educate me.

Thanks Brogan this really helped me sort out the permissions and helps make it much easier to understand and implement on a multi-usergroup forum, espcially when you have a number of forums that are restricted to certain groups or hidden from groups.
A+ resource.

Awesome guide, Paul. Especially the new real-world example of why this should be the only way to set up your permissions.
