Overview
|
12
|
--------
|
13
|
|
14
|
Forum Access changes your forum administration pages to let you apply
|
15
|
role-based permissions to each forum, and to give each forum individual
|
16
|
moderators.
|
17
|
|
18
|
Moderators automatically get all privileges on all posts in that forum,
|
19
|
including edit and delete.

Permissions
|
54
|
-----------
|
55
|
|
56
|
Administering Forum Access requires Core's Administer Forums permission.
|
57
|
Detailed explanations of how Forum Access' grants work together with Core's
|
58
|
other permissions are available on the administration pages.

Configuration
|
64
|
-------------
|
65
|
|
66
|
Forum Access does not have its own administration page -- it adds its controls
|
67
|
to Core's forum administration pages at
|
68
|
|
69
|
Administration | Structure | Forums | Edit/Add Forum/Container

Troubleshooting
|
77
|
---------------
|
78
|
|
79
|
Step-by-step troubleshooting instructions are provided on the administration
|
80
|
pages.
|
81
|
|
82
|
In case you have additional node access modules enabled, the administration
|
83
|
pages will provide additional information on how to make them work together,
|
84
|
and you should probably follow the troubleshooting instructions to install
|
85
|
DNA and learn about how your combination of node access modules works.
