I just upgraded to 7.3.1 from 7.2.2 today. We have one forum that is for our moderators to hash things out. After the upgrade it is not visible anymore. If I add one of the regular user groups to it, it shows up but we do not want normal users to see it.. I double checked all the settings...

There is a thread here that discussed exactly what you mention, but in much more detail and includes Rick's design parameters / thinking on the subject.

Solution, summarized:
  • Create a new group called "Crew" arbitary name
  • Add all your guys / gals to it
  • Give that group permissions
  • --
  • Alternatively (not desired, imo), give them each moderating capabilities in that forum

Thanks, that is what I ended up doing. I figured it was an easy fix.

We really need a permission stuff who can add users to certain groups.

as an admin you were the only one who could add persons to the moderators group, with your proposed setup any mod with edit users permissions can add someone to the crew group.

I do think it'd be cool to be able to set a group to be able to add users to another group (a defined group); would make managing some things a lot easier...
