For more information about usergroups and permissions, read the Usergroups and Permissions section of the manual. The “Banned Users” usergroup has all permissions set to ‘no’ by default.
The form has the following fields:
- User Name

This is the usergroup to which the specified user will be moved.Note:Only usergroups that are specified as banned groups will be displayed here. - Lift Ban After... Default: 7 Days

This message will be shown to the user (along with the ban duration set above) every time they visit the site while the ban is in effect.
