Need help on user permission?

[Roxas]

Hi, I've been having problem with user permission. I'm a newbie thus making it complicated So I am the admin.. and this is the forum category / forum / child

Category News & Updates
- Story
- Event

So i want to make normal user, to not have the permission to post new thread, but only can view and post message. How to do this? I've been trying customizing on permission (set registered role "No" to post new thread) but when doing that, I also can't post new thread.. Can someone help me?

On the category set the following permission to Revoke:
Post New Thread

for the registered role?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes. And make sure that your secondary user group has the Allow permission set.

 

[Roxas]

should i edit these?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes, Revoke the permission stated above.

still the same.. I dont have access to post thread although I am an admin..

 

[Jeremy]

See:

Yes. And make sure that your secondary user group has the Allow permission set.

Set Allow on your secondary user group. A direct Allow trumps an inherited Revoke.

So my user group is Registered
Secondary user group is Administrative & Moderating..
Thus on the node permission,
Registered : Post new thread (Revoke)
While for Administrative I should set to Allow?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes. A direct Allow on a node trumps a direct or inherited Revoke. Jake's resource (Understanding permissions) explains this in detail, I highly suggest you read it.
