Is there a way to make a user a member of more than one group?
 
E.g., I have a group for "Committee A" and "Committee B", each of which have their own sub forum and can only be accessed by people in the corresponding group.
 
One person is actually a member of both committees and needs access to both forums. Do I need to create a separate group just for that person to give him access to both forums?

That'd be the safest way to do it.

I would create another group for people who are members of both committess. That's how groups are really designed to be used. Very flexible and powerfull and one of the reasons I chose WWF.

You might (I dunno) be interested in the autoatic grouping script I wrote. My forum has over 80,000 members and when I transfered to 8.5 the thought of putting all those members into groups manually made me itch. So I wrote a grouping script after making the initial groups based on my old permission system which was run from a tblAuthor column (stat1)


<% Option Explicit %>
<!--#include file="../common.asp" -->

<%

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 14 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'E') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 15 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'D') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 16 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'G') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 17 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'R') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 18 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'I') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 19 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'F') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 20 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'H') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 21 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'L') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 22 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'M') AND (Right(Stat1, 2) < N'97')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL


    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 7 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'A') AND (RIGHT(Stat1, 2) > N'04')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 7 WHERE(LEFT(Stat1, 1) = N'A') AND (RIGHT(Stat1, 2) = N'02')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL

    strSQL = "UPDATE tblAuthor SET Group_ID = 6 WHERE(RIGHT(Stat1, 2) > N'97') OR (LEFT(Stat1,1)=N'B')"
    adoCon.Execute strSQL
    
    adoCon.Close
    Set adoCon = Nothing
    Set strCon = Nothing
    
%>

you could (as someone already said) name it "Committe A & B" and give that group permissions to the 2 forums.

or you could just edit the "User Permissions" - the group title would say "Committee A" but they'd have access to Committee B's forum

obviously this isnt that great since your group names reflect what they do and people may wonder why their in 2 groups.
