Moderator Permissions

[Muzikman]

Ok, I guess I don't fully understand group hierarchy. Here is my problem.

For the moderators of my board, I was leaving their primary usergroup as "Registered Users" and then would assign the "Moderators" as an additional group. This seemed to work fine.

However, I also have an additional users group for "Supporting Members". If a moderator becomes a supporting member, they seem to lose the ability to edit, delete, move, etc posts. Also things such as PM quotas, default to the smaller "Supporting Members" size (supporting members get 100 PMs, Mods get 200 PMs).

However, they still have access to forums that only admin and moderators have.

Any ideas?

I ran across this thread, but it just kind of confused me even more when it came to usergroup permission hierarchy.

Make sure the main group (I guess in your case is Registered Members) has this setting:
Allow Users to have Member Groups - Yes

Adding secondary groups should never revoke permissions. It only adds. vBulletin automatically gives users the best capabilities/settings based on their groups and secondary groups.

Ok, that's what I gathered, but I wasn't sure.

I'll have to actually verify what they are seeing (or not seeing). This just might be user error on their part. We just migrated from phpbb.
