Hello there, I have a section of the forum that I want someone else to manage.
I'm looking for selective administrator permissions for a particular section based on users in a particular group. Is it possible to restrict administrator permissions to a particular part of the forum for a particular set of users?
Moving topics is a moderator permission.
It wouldn't make sense to attach a "can create a forum" permission to a forum, because it would have to exist already before you could attach the permission to it.
I can't believe that no-one else needs this functionality. If a board is large enough, it needs different people managing different areas and I'm happy for someone to take charge of a particular area so I don't have to create, modify, move or remove forums, topics or links myself.
It would be great if a local permission existed for a group.
As I said, moving topics is a moderator permission.
You shouldn't be creating so many forums you need to delegate creating new ones. Permissions are already a nightmare when there are alot of forums. I cannot imagine adding forum-based admin permissions too.
Talking of permissions being a nightmare when lots of forums are involved, it would be fantastic is there were a tickbox and a "select all" button to update all or several selected instead of going through individually.
That's why you should not assign permissions directly to forums, but assign permission to a role, and set that role to a forum. When you update the permissions for the role, all forums will directly use that.
