I'm not sure if this have been noticed before but I just downloaded the latest version so the bugs are present in it.

1) Enter admin panel
2) Click on Manage Boards
3) Click on 'permissions' near any board

You are taken to a screen called: Manage Permissions

Errors:

a) If you click on the 'Modify' link near any member group name, you get an error saying:

QuoteAn Error Has Occurred!
The board you specified doesn't exist 

I *beleive* that this link was supposed to be the same one as in the "Edit Permissions" link.
The "error" link is pointing to: index.php?action=permissions;sa=modify;id=-1;boardid=1
While the "edit permissions" link for the same groupd is pointing to: index.php?action=permissions;sa=modify;id=-1

I'm not sure if I missed something but I can't figure anything out about that "modify" link.

b) After clicking on "Manage Boards" --> "permissions" (for any board), the "Has Access" column is greyed and unselectable. Again, I *beleive* this has to do with the groups permissions. Over the last column of that screen, there is a check box to select the entire row. Checking that box will select them all - along with the greyed area ("has access"). Same thing if you then unselect it.


I'm not sure if this is really a bug but I was unable to figure out what it's needed for. I'll stand corrected if anyone could explain to me what it is :)

Thanks

Don't worry about it.  Use the "modify" under board management to change access permissions.

What if I'd want to give specific permissions on some boards?

i.e.: Guest group

Forum 1 : Guest group can read AND post
Forum 2: Guest group can read but NOT post

Then you need to edit the local permissions for that board.

Currently, you need to click the word "local" next to the board's name under "edit permissions".

It's not hard, just extremely time-consuming. Fix it, please. :)

Now I see :)
Thanks.

I suppose this will be "arranged" in future releases so we shouldnt try to "modify" it ourself :)
