    [Forum] Secondary Usergroup Permission Question

    I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly

    My Registered Users group is set to not allow them to give negative reputation

    I have another group created that's exactly the same as the Registered user group with the exception that they are allowed to give negative rep

    If I set the users secondary usergroup to to the one that is allowed to give negative rep will that "Yes" override the "No" of the registered usergroup?

    The basic idea is that if a user is in multiple groups and they specify conflicting permissions, the greater permission overrides. Thus, a yes will always override a no and a larger number will override a smaller number.

    There is a slight exception to this rule. If 0 represents unlimited or no restriction, then it will override any other setting; it really is the greater permission.
