View Full Version : Usergroup Permissions on Already Created Usergroups

First of all I have 174 forums and 78 usergroups--so tons of things. This is from a forum that was created years ago and it is being migrated to VBulletin 3.6.4.

All I need now is a way to copy the rights of the usergroup "registered
users" to the rights of other selected usergroups (about 65 of them). I do
NOT want this at forum level--I want the usergroup rights of 1 usergroup to
be copied to the usergroups rights of other usergroups and I could care less
what forum they are in at this level. This will save me many hours as it
will give the default usergroup rights that I need.

I see the Permissions Duplication Tools and there is a "Copy Usergroup" in
there but it is applied to a single forum. I don't need/want that. I just
want to copy the usergroup rights (no how they apply to a forum but the
usergroup itself). Is there a way to do this? I thought it would be in the
usergroup manager area but I do not seem to find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Sorry but there is no way to do this like you want.

Wow! That is a pretty large oversight for a product that is so detailed. The help (searching for help) shows that the older version does exactly what I was hoping vBulletin could do. If you look at the help screenshots they show exactly that. I really wish it had not been removed and to be blunt I have no idea why something so useful was removed.

I would like to officially request that this ability be put in place for future users, it would be a big help.

Just running into this myself. Fortunately I only have 4 groups and not 60, but it would be nice to be able to do this.
