	Hey all, I'd like to add a user group that can move users from group to group and create new forum categories and forums. I am thinking of just a menu/page that gives access to just these areas. I don't want them to have full admin access, though. Is this possible? Thanks, Adam.

	You could write a page to do what you require, but you would need some ASP skills to be able to do it.

	I'm going to give this a try: in admin/common.asp line 298 I find If intGroupID <> 1 Then .... I'm going to add the group ID for the new group there, create a copy of the common.asp and name it common_something.asp and use that (include file) on the pages I want to give access to. I think that should work.

	Update: very simple solution. In forum/common.asp find if intGroupID <> 1 then ... Add new group ID (I used moderator ID =3) to create If intGroupID <> 1 AND intGroupID <> 3 Then ... I saved the altered file under a new name.asp and replace common.asp include file with the new name.asp file on those pages I wanted to grant access for group 3. I then created a new frameset for the group 3 admin, a new abbreviated menu and navigation. This is just to give them there own simplified admin section.
