XF 1.5 Overlapping permissions

[FirstSword]

Hello, I have a question about setting up users with overlapping permission groups.

I have a gaming community forum that is also related to guilds in various games. I have permissions set up to separate guild members from non-guild community members, as their access may not always be mutually inclusive. I want to set up permissions so that if I add a user to two groups, the user inherits the highest set of permissions from both groups.

For example:

A Guild Member cannot post a new thread to Gaming News & Blogs

A Publisher can post a new thread to Gaming News & Blogs

A Guild Member can create a new thread in Guild Discussion

A Publisher cannot post a new thread in Guild Discussion.

I want the permissions set up so that if I add a user to both groups, they can post in both Gaming News & Blogs and Guild Discussion.

Thanks!

I want to set up permissions so that if I add a user to two groups, the user inherits the highest set of permissions from both groups.

Permissions are cumulative and the final permission set is determined by all of the user groups a member is in.

Node specific permissions can be defined on a per node/user group basis.

So you would revoke or allow permissions as required.
