RM 1.2 Unable to select category from Add Resource button

[Cromulent]

I have just bought and installed the latest version of resource manager on my Xenforo board. I have the latest version of Xenforo as well.

When I click the Add Resource button on the resource manager page on my forum it shows a list of categories that I can create the resource in but it won't let me select any of them. They appear to be greyed out. I've tried doing a forced refresh of the page with Ctrl+F5. I've asked my theme developer and they say it is not a problem with the theme so I'm kinda lost as to why I can't select a category to post a resource into it.

I have full admin permissions and moderator permissions on the forum in question. Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed?

Thanks for any help .

Have you checked the allowed resource types for each category?

I managed to fix it. Apparently it was a permission issue (stupid on my part). Thanks for the reply.

I'm slightly confused by the whole permission system. I went into the registered users permission group and set some permissions that I don't want them to have to never but then I couldn't select a category myself even though I am an admin. Do I then need to explicitly go into every permission group (admin and mods) that inherits from registered users and then manually set the permissions to allow rather than inherit if I want to do that?

Is there a tutorial on how to use permissions in Xenforo at all? I don't want to screw anything up.

Ah, that makes more sense. I didn't realise never could never be overriden. So using revoke on permissions you don't want registered users to have is the way to go? Cool. Thanks. I'll bookmark this thread for later reference.
