- Groups' Permissions > User Permissions = No access
- Forum Permissions > A specific forum > A specific group (like Guests) = No role assigned
Thanks for this helpful thread!
This would set the role "No access" for the groups' user permissions (by user permissions user-specific permissions are meant). Later on, you only need to adjust the role and the groups having this role will use the changed permissions.Groups' Permissions > User Permissions = No access
This is for assigning forum-related permissions for a specific forum to a specific group. Forum permissions are different to user permissions (above) of course. The "no role assigned" option is for the admin to specify individual permissions not tied to a role - here the individual permissions are accessible if you click the "Advanced" link. Therefore, "no role assigned" does not mean the group is having no access; it only means that either there are no permissions set or custom permissions applied. Here i have to admit i intend to add an indicator for the first case to let the admin know which case is true (no permissions assigned/all set to NO or individual permissions assigned).Forum Permissions > A specific forum > A specific group (like Guests) = No role assigned
I'd be willing to think about this if you'd like some help.Acyd Burn wrote:groups' user permissions (by user permissions user-specific permissions are meant)....
I agree, I think the new phpBb3 version is really good and can't wait for gold. But the permissions are really confusing to understand, seriously they were so easy to use in phpBB2. And now they most be the most confusing set of permissions to understand than any other forum board software out there - and I've used most!mrskiprat wrote:Hia guys,
Im just trying to grasp the new persmission system, but cannot grasp how the two 'kinds' of persmissions mesh together.
I wonder if someone could give me an example of how they set theirs?
The issue im having really is that i feel like im going around in circles.
In group permissions i add user and mod permissions, then i need to add them in forum permissions too?

I would suggest to Acyd, and all people which are inside the development, to make really something for the Admins that simply cannot see by a glance the permission situation in the single Forums. This was true also with all previous versions. Imagine a possible synopsis, in the style:Acyd Burn wrote:[...] Here i have to admit i intend to add an indicator for the first case to let the admin know which case is true (no permissions assigned/all set to NO or individual permissions assigned).
