The forum permissions for forums are only set for the Administative, Registered, and Unregistered/Not Logged In groups. Since every user is in the registered user group, that is the main one that controls if they can view the forum based on the selections made when the group is created.Snog,
This addon is being enjoyed by my members, and I am allowing my premium member group to create their own social groups.
An issue came up yesterday that demonstrated to me that either I do not have it setup properly, or a fix is needed.
I noticed that when a member makes a group forum, that permission masks are not applied and all usergroups are set for no (not set) permissions.
I tried to set permissions in the root group category node, but those perms do not translate through to the forum nodes.
I need to have a base set of permission mask setting apply to member created group forums. Especially admin and mod settings.
Any pointers on what I am missing?
After that, access to group forums are controlled on a user level, not a user group level. In other words, if the group is setup so only members can view thread content, then the user permissions for members are set for the members not a user group.
Moderators do not have access to the group forums for the simple reason it can be a security risk depending on what the groups are used for. IE: A moderator can be a member of a competitive social group where they should not have access to the group forums.
Group moderators are assigned on the group level by either the owner of the group or the admin of the site.
