Additional Groups do not inherit permissions

[Nadeemjp]

hi there
I have lately introduced the promotion system by which if a user crosses a specific number of posts, is promoted to a higher user group.

i also have certain forums privately held where nto everyone can go but only those whom i permit.

before introducing the promotion system, i used to check the additional group to a user and that user was able to visit that particular forum.now i am having problem because checking additional group may change the appearance (html codes driven) but does not give the rights of access to a particular forum where the group has the rights. The user doesnt get any additional access but for the primary group accesses only. i dont know what is wrong, but could someone help?

thanks

In order for secondary group memberships to have any effect on permissions, the primary group(s) in question must have this option enabled:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Allow Users to have Member Groups

If this option is not enabled for the primary group(s) in question, then secondary groups will have no effect on permissions.
