    Permissions Question

    I have a forum that is only visible and accessible to Moderators and Admins. I want to give a regular member access to this forum.

    I went into their forum permissions in the Admin panel and set YES for the access to this forum. However, they tell me that they still cannot see the forum.

    Is there something else I'm not doing correctly?

    In Forums and Permissions, I'd double check that you edited the correct usergroup and forum, and that "Can View Others' Threads", "Can View Thread Content", and "Can View Forum" are all set to YES.

      There are two ways to give ONE member access to a forum:
      • Access Masks
      • Put them in a Usergroup that has access to that forum


      If you are trying to do Access Masks, note that it is normally disabled forumwide. Usergroups are the preferred method of permissions giving.
