    Access but can not post

    I have a new user. He can access the forums but cannot post. How do I give him permission to post in all forums? Thank you.

    Check the posting permissions for his usergroup:

    Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup

      Thanks for the quick response. The problem is- that is for the user group, but I just want to edit one user and his permissions. He can view but can not post. I am new at this so please bare with me-- thanks!

        Use access masks:

        Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Enable Access Masks

        Now find the user's account and edit their profile:

        Admin CP -> Users -> Search for Users

        There will be a menu option that says Edit Forum Permissions.

          That is what I have been doing. After setting the access masks from default to yes I would think it would say YES in all forum permissions, however the forum permissions continue to say NO for posting. What next? Thanks.

            I am out of ideas. I can take a closer look if you submit a trouble ticket with a URL and admin login to your forum, as well as the name of the problem user and private forum:
