Implementing permissions across multiple user groups

Ahh, not how I did it over on MyBB. This is very interesting and also very helpful. Thank you. Time to get to work!

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

All yours explanations about permissions are very clear and a great source of learning. Thanks.

Very handy quick reference to help get your head around the XF permissions system.

Thank you. Happy that found this guide.

I was making more work for myself in some of the secondary groups early on. Thanks.

I never realized I did not have these set right until reading this guide.

I have all my ducks in a row now!

Very clear an concise, totally helped me straighten out my user permissions. Thanks for the guide Brogan!

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.

I was slowly getting there, but this info has fast tracked my understanding of perms, I really appreciate you adding this resource

An excellent explanation.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

Awesome, it's much easier to manage usergroups permissions by following this guide. Thanks for this great tutorial ;)

Very helpful and will save me a lot of problems in the future as I had my permissions set up wrong!

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.

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.
