Guy asked this..
<<We have Person 1, 2, 3 and 4
...and Forum A, B, C, D and E.
Person 1 will have access to A B C
Person 2 will have access to B C D
Person 3 will have access to A C D
Person 4 will have access to A B D
Finaly ALL shall have access to E

How do I set upp my groups? Any Idea!>>

Told this...
<<Just make all the forums allowed member list and then make a group for each forum (for the example you showed that would be the best solution). You will not need DENY on any of the groups.>>

But I can't find allow, I see reference to it here..
<<Is the forum set to Allowed Member List / Allowed Member List (Hidden). Then you set explicit allow permissions for the members who are allowed in. The usergroups mod does not handle users who are not signed up AFAIK, you would need to set the Auth Type for that forum.>>

My stie is http://www.kinnamon.net/Boards/default.asp and I want to do the same sort of logic that the guy above addessed.
Thanks in advance,
EKinnamon

Thank you for this nice Mod Nikkol. Specialy Checklist and readme.html was a great help.
I have two question here:

I have a Modified Forum with few other mod. Every thing as listed and showed in readme and checklist was same except of Forum.asp. At line 168 there is suggested to paste this code:
if strModeration = "1" and AdminAllowed = 1 then
strUGView = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGVIEW")
strUGMemView = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGMEMVIEW")
strUGModForums = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGMODFORUMS")
'####### End UserGroup MOD #######


what i am doing wrong ?
My 2nd question is:
We have about 1250 users in our Intranet-Forum, i created a group (Co-Admin) containing 10 members.

Now i want that only these 10 members of this Co-Admin group are allowed to acces a Forum-A rest of users shouldn't have access nor they see the Forum-A.
It works great when i am setting few users of deny to access Forum-A. They can't access nor see the forum. But how can i do it in other way that 1240 members can't access the Forum-A but only members of group Co-Admin.
I tried to put all members in a default-group with *Auto-join for new members on registration*, but there i got another problem: I was able to put half of these 1250 members into this default-group. rest still remains as forum-members. The idea was that this way i can set for all members of default-group to acces all forums except of Forum-A. But due to reason that i am not able to put all members in the default-group,its not working.
What i am doing wrong here.
It will be great if someone can help me out here.
The forum is running under
- Version - 3.4.03 with NT-Authentification
- Window2003 server with MS-SQL2000

Thanks already for any help. <

I have been playing with the usergroups mod and I just don't seem to get it no matter how many times I read the instructions and prior posts. I am using an access database. Without the mod, you have to set access to each forum for each member individually. I hoped to be able to just add a user to a group list to differentiate them from the general public and allow access to hidden forums.
It seems no matter how I set the "group" permissions, I can't seem to get the proper result. Here is what I want to do:

I have 2 categories with 3 forums each. I want the general public to be able to view all forums and posts in the first category but not be able to post without joining. In the second category, I want only "special" members to be able to see the forums and post with the exception of one "locked" forum that instructs on how to gain access to the forums for the "special" members.
I guess that I don't understand what has to be set in the regular forum properties vs the group properties.
I have spent hours on this so I hope someone has the patience to help me see the light here.
Thanks all,
