lock topic and remove topic settings

[myobuwing]

Ive been stuck on this for a few days. I made a test account for a regular member, when I post from the regular members it lets me lock and remove thread. I dont want regular members have this option, only mods and admin how do I configure these settings

[margarett]

Check permissions for regular users. For further details, check our wiki ;

I've read the wiki, it justva description of lock topic. I've looked in permissions and I dont seem to see it. Can I get a path? I bet it could slap me but I just dont see it.

Admin -> Members -> Permissions -> Group Name -> Modify ?

Go back into permissions, and scroll down until you see the "Topics" part.

Make sure to check these settings in particular-

Merge any topic   
Split any topic   
Make topics sticky   
Move topic
Own topic:   
Any topic:   
Lock topics
Own topic:   
Any topic:   
Remove topics
Own topic:
Any topic:

Thanks,  yup it slapped me in the face. Thanks from a newbie

Yer welcome from whichever one of us got you there.

Can you mark the thread solved then?

[myobuwing]

I unchecked them, but it appears my test member can still lock and remove,  does it take time for the setting to kick in?

[Kindred]

no....   but you do have to set it for EVERY GROUP that the users might be part of (including post-count-based groups, if you have that turned on)

SMF permissions are inclusive...  which means that, if ANY group gives them a permission, they get that permission

[myobuwing]

I haven't got regular members set to any group, just whatever the default is.  So I guessing I need to setup new members to regular member?

[Kindred]

regular members is not an actual group...   it's the catch-all for any member who does not belong to a specific primary group.

but - do you have post-count-based groups activated?

[myobuwing]

I think so, got to check.

[Kindred]

if you do...  then any permissions that they get from those groups will also affect them

[myobuwing]

Ok, I cant find that setting. I know I seen it......

[Arantor]

Go into their profile > permissions, will tell you which group gives them that permission.

[Kindred]

I forgot all about that section... !

You all are awesome!  Thanks, I have to set newbie, etc yo inherent regular members. That was driving me nuts! Thanks for being helpful!
