Otsikko: mods permissions - I want to make a mods/admin section
Kirjoitti: miminmonkey - maaliskuu 20, 2005, 06:15:24 IP
Hi - I wanted to make a section of the forums acessible only by admin, global mods and section mods, and at the moment it can only be shown to admin and global mods as the 'permissions' section does not list moderators.

I tried to set my chosen moderators to be moderators of this section, but they still cannot see it.

Any help would be so much appreciated - I am stumped!

A person is only a "moderator" on the board(s) where they're listed as a moderator. Example: Douglas, Ben S., andrea and Peter Duggan show up as "Moderator" on this board, (and in the other support boards), but everywhere else they're shown as Support Specialist (or "Lead Support Speciailst" in Andrea's case).

Easiest way to accomplish what you want to do:
Create a new (non-post-based) group.
Add everyone who's a moderator to this group (if you do it through "additional groups", they won't know they're in that group, and neither will anyone else unless you tell them ;)).
Finally, give this group access to that board.
