That's what I thought, but thanks for confirming that, and thanks for producing the application.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 16:18:42 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/multiple-private-forums_topic20365_post109356.html#109356 https://forums.webwiz.net/multiple-private-forums_topic20365_post109350.html#109350 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

There is only one admin group but you can place other members in that group as forum admins.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:55:11 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/multiple-private-forums_topic20365_post109350.html#109350 https://forums.webwiz.net/multiple-private-forums_topic20365_post109346.html#109346 Author: Jonathan8146

Thanks for the reply.

Do you mean that you can have more than one person as an administrator of the overall forum application (which is what I have set up), or do you mean that you can create admin groups who have admin rights over a limited set of stuff and then put users into those groups?

I think you mean the former, but I'm just making sure.

Members can only belong to one group at a time, so you would need to create 3 groups:-

Group 1 Access to forum 1
Group 2 access to forum 2
Group 3 access to both forums.

Moderators can no-longer move members to new groups due to complaits from people not liking it and believing it to be a security problem.

However, you can have multiple forums admins who can move users to new groups.

I think I know the answer to the first question, but I guess I just need confirmation.

I have set up a private forum at work, but have now had a request for another private forum. If I have users who may need to access both forums (fora?) do I need to create a group that allows them access to both, I can't see how to assign users to muliple groups?

Also, are the only people who can grant users access to those groups Admins? I don't want to be involved in the day to day running of the forum application, and I ought to trust the people to administer responsibly, but if there is another way then I'd prefer it.
