Currently we have specific moderators for specific forums, but want to open it up so our 11 moderators have authorization in all forums. We could list the entries for each of them after we assign "rights', but would prefer one listing.

TIA

you just want to grant them read/write access to a private forum or do you want them to have mod access to all forums?

Apart from adding them to each forum not much.

You can how ever if you have not done so,
hide them from the main index view.

Were normally using the term "Super Moderators or Global Moderators"

for what your suggesting.

Its not an option at the moment.

Unfortunately, the option for "Global Moderators" hasn't yet been introduced in UBB.T7; though I've been pushing for it for a LONG time...

Your only real way of accomplishing this is to add the users as a moderator to every group individually.

I messaged Rick that I'd bake him cookies if he put it in, got no response :X

Dredging this old thread up again.

1) Global moderators are not in 7.2, right? It's still a case of manually adding our current moderators to each forum as a moderator? Lessie... 9 moderators x 101 forums = Ouch!

2) Another question about staff access. We have several Administrators. We want to reduce to 3-4 the number of total staff members who have access to the control panel, which all "Administrators" do have full access, right?

3) I created a new group called "Staff" (original, huh?). They have access to all the forums.

4) I need to add staff members (moderators and administrators) into that group, right?

5) Do I then remove them from their previous moderator and administrator "Member Status" and make them "Users" ...or do I make all of them moderators?

6) Moderators see the "Control Panel" link but it's limited what can be done, right?

7) Is the "Edit Users" Capability what allows access to the full "Control Panel"?

8) And for the 3-4 persons I want to have full Control Panel access, how best to show them as "Staff" but with the added capability.

I'm sooooo confused! Argh!

TIA for any and all help.

1. Exactly, no global mods in threads, so many mods of many forums, added manually is the only resolve... There are several requests for this as a feature, and I even opted to bake cookies... wink

2. Any "administrator" has access to the CP; if you dont want them to ahve cp access, or have limited cp access, demote them to a moderator and set the moderator permissions.

3-5. this group would only have read/write access; not edit powers.

6. yes, you set these limits in moderator settings (see the two tabs? it's the second one), you can set this on a user by user basis.

Thanks Gizmo.

Is there a way to provide moderator capabilities in a new group I'd call Staff?

Reason... I am trying to avoid the longtime admins feeling they've been demoted so if everyone has the title "Staff", I get rid of the pecking order problem. Then if I can select the different permissions, including the Control Panel, it would be transparent.

Long before I bought the site they had numerous admins so I'm trying to deal with it in the best way possible.

Wish List: A checkbox page for admins like there is for moderators, and a third page for a created category like my "Staff" idea.

Sorry... still dense on all this.

Well, you could set everyone's title to staff... The way the current permission ssystem works a new group with such abilities is impossible.
