Is there a way to have intermediary administrators? I have a physician group that wants to use the forums as a research/discussion group and I have a technical group that wants to use the forums for something completely different.
The physician group would like to be able to add different topics under the general section for their group. Moderators do not have that ability as I see it. I don't want to give the leader of the physician group full administrative access to the forums. I'd like him to only be able to administer the topics that pertain to his group.
The only other thing I want to avoid is having multiple instances of forums. I'd rather have one instance of the forums and have a little more flexibility in who can administer what.
Any ideas? |

Maybe I have something configured incorrectly. When I log in with the moderator account I am not able to create a new forum under the topic I'm a moderator for. It appeared that the installation went smoothly as I didn't get any errors during the install.
Should the moderator inherently be able to create new forums within the topic that he's the moderator for?

Moderators moderate forums. As such, they are not able to create new forums, just new topics. Topics do not include forums, forums do include topics. It seems to me that you are confusing things a bit.
I would say the number of forums in a board remains more or less constant and limited. What grows is the number of topics so, again, I think that from a practical point of view, a moderator is all you need, unlesse the confusion you're making between topics and forums is refraining me from understanding what you mean. |

Yes. I was describing it incorrectly. The top level is the category, the next level is the forum and then there are topics within the forum. A moderator can only make new topic which any 'normal user' can do. The moderator can merely control what gets posted if the forum is set for moderation. Other than that, moderator cannot create forums within a category.
I feel a MOD moment coming on. What I'd like to do is create an intermediary level of administration where you can have an administrator of a certain category and give this administrator carte blanche within the category they are responsible for. I'd rather head off in this direction over the idea of having an individual instance of a forum just for this one person's need.
Thank you guys for the quick response. I appreciate it a ton.

Mod Groups and Admin Groups would be great.
I have 2 forums that share the same member directory, and I would like to have a group of Mods for each, but you can't do that with the current code.
