Permissions Question

[David Gardiner]

So, i have an admin section, (category) containing two admin forums.

One is for just admins, the other is for admins+moderators.

I've granted the allow on the category for admins + mods.
I've granted allow on the admin forum for admins, and deny for mods.
I've granted allow on the mod forum for admins + mods.

So if i login as admin i see both forums in the admin section.

If i login as mod i see one.

If however, i add moderator to my secondary group on my main (admin) user, the admin forum also vanishes.

Shouldnt the Allow in my main usergroup over-ride the deny in the moderator section on that sub forum ?

Deny overrides everything.

Use Default to act as a No or Revoke to remove an Allow.

See this thread by Jake for a more detailed explanation: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/understanding-permissions.5830/

Is there a good document describing the whole permission system ?

Is there a good document describing the whole permission system ?

The thread I linked to above covers most of it.
As does this thread I did about moderator and administrator permissions: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...r-as-staff-and-create-secret-moderators.7987/

Kier has stated that he will be doing a video at some point on the permissions.
