Lack of interest Revert custom user permissions

[Stuart Wright]

I found that I had inadvertently given a user custom permissions.
I want to revert their permissions to the standard ones applied to their usergroup.
No button to revert.
Might be a good idea to have one?
Thanks

I had this exact same question a while ago
http://xenforo.com/community/thread...a-group-on-a-node-how-do-i-remove-them.14289/

Fixed by just setting everything to Not Set / Inherit, the permissions were removed

I agree there should just be a remove button ... it's a little confusing actually the way it is now

There is a button on the user perms page which will do all of them:

Clicking Not Set (No) will ensure their perms default to the groups they are a member of.

What it doesn't do however is the spin boxes, but I did suggest that the other week.

Once you know what to do it is crazy easy

The problem is figuring it out, the thinking pattern goes like this
"Oh, I see this node has custom permissions"
"no, that is not right, I want to remove them"

Then I search for a delete permissions button (the same way you delete almost anything in XF), but there is nothing, then I click on it and search for an edit or revert, and again nothing

And setting everything to no, seems like "defining" permissions, not "removing" them, and that is not what I have to do, then I keep looking... Then I ask at XF

A rule of thumb for good UI is that you should not need to explain it
Hence, this one is broken

Yup, I had the same "Where the hell is it?" moment, then worked it out if I set them to Inherit (IE not set, IE blank), it removed them.
