Closed usergroup and roles
Quote from Changes on May 20, 2019, 11:06 pmI need tot login on this forum “to create posts and topics ” but it’s not possible for me to delete posts or topics of other members.
I want to set-up a closed usergroup, where only members can see, post, edit and delete posts of themselves. But certainly they may not be able to delete posts of other members. I tried to figure that out, read many topics, but until now I found out that in closed groups:
- members only can post a topic when they have the role of moderator
- members (with the role of moderator) always can delete the topics (and posts) of other members?
I sure hope to read that my conclusions are wrong, that I have not been looking good en and there is a solution for my problem.
Thanks you in advance for your reply

Basically what you need to do is the following:
- You create a category and add forums to it which are used as the restricted area
- You create a usergroup and assign users to it which are allowed to access this area
- Now you assign the usergroup to the category of the restricted area
In this case:
- All users which are part of this group can access the restricted area
- Other users cannot see it
- Users, who can access the restricted area, can create topics and posts inside of it and edit their own content (based on the permission-settings for editing/deleting)
- They dont need to have the moderator role for it
- The forums inside the restricted area dont need to be closed

I misinterpreted the word “closed”. While testing on to different devices I forgot to refress. Rather trivial ;-). Sorry for the confusion.
