Allow users to set primary membergroup

[derekjwhitten]

Hi everyone.

On my forum there are four specific membergroups which are used to manage board access and username display colour.  I have a group of mods responsible for managing these membergroups.

They're set as group owners and can add/remove people fine, however I'd like to give them the ability to set one of these groups as the primary membergroup without letting them choose from the full list of membergroups.

Is this possible with the standard functionality of SMF 2.0.10?  Happy to install a mod if that's required.

Thanks in advance for your help!

can you clarify what you mean? where are they seeing a full list of members that you dont want them to see?

if they can manage the groups from the admin panel, i dont think there is much you can do. you can set the group as visible for visibility that makes the group a primary group but i am not sure that does what you want.

Hi Illori,

They way its set up now is that they're set as moderators of these four user groups.  From the 'Manage Membergroups' page, they're then able to add/remove individual users in those groups.

However, this doesn't allow them to set the group as a Primary Membergroup.  It seems the only way this can be achieved, is by going to a user's 'Account Settings' page and setting their primary membergroup there.

The reason I don't want them to be able to do this is because in the Primary Membergroup dropdown it lists all the membergroups in the forum which could allow them to assign a membergroup with higher access rights than I want them having access to.

if the group is set as visible, then the group will always be a primary group even if the group is added from the moderation center. if the group is invisible then it will be set as an additional group.
