README.txt for Forum Access 7.x-1.x

Please feel free to suggest improvements and additions to this file! <<<<

Overview

Forum Access changes your forum administration pages to let you apply
role-based permissions to each forum, and to give each forum individual
moderators.

Moderators automatically get all privileges on all posts in that forum,
including edit and delete.

Requirements

Forum Access requires the current versions of the following modules:

• ACL http://drupal.org/project/acl
• Chain Menu Access API http://drupal.org/project/chain_menu_access

Acknowledgements

Originally written for Drupal 5 and maintained by merlinofchaos.
Ported to Drupal 6 and 7 and maintained by salvis.

Upgrading from Drupal 6

Update to the latest D6 release, then upgrade as outlined in the Drupal 7 docs.

Note: The D5 Legacy Mode has been removed (see http://drupal.org/node/1768330).

Permissions

Administering Forum Access requires Core's Administer Forums permission.
Detailed explanations of how Forum Access' grants work together with Core's
other permissions are available on the administration pages.

Configuration

Forum Access does not have its own administration page -- it adds its controls
to Core's forum administration pages at

Administration | Structure | Forums | Edit/Add Forum/Container

admin/structure/forum/edit/forum/1

Troubleshooting

Step-by-step troubleshooting instructions are provided on the administration
pages.

In case you have additional node access modules enabled, the administration
pages will provide additional information on how to make them work together,
and you should probably follow the troubleshooting instructions to install
DNA and learn about how your combination of node access modules works.
