Create new Groups
In this section you will create a new group. This group will be for users who will help you monitor and administer your site's forums. Yes, I know... you haven't configured the forums yet — you will.
From the System Menu in the Menu module:
- Select Settings > Groups.
Tip
You can also access the Admin Groups page by clicking the Groups button in the Quick Admin module. - The Admin Groups page lists the existing groups: Admins, Anonymous, and Registered.
- Click the Create Group tab.
- Enter the following information in each field in the Create Group area:
- Group: Enter Forum Admins. This will be the name of the new group to moderate the forums.
- Description: Enter a short description of the group. This will help you keep track of each group's purpose.
- Inherit: Select Registered. This will let Forum Admins inherit all of the permissions that registered users have. Later, we'll add additional permissions to allow Forum Admins to moderate the forum.
- Leave the other options as their defaults and click Add. Tiki prompts for confirmation, then saves the new group and reloads the page.
- The List tab now shows the new Forum Admins group.
Tip
Assigning Permissions
Right now, the Forum Admins group has the same permissions as a regular Registered user. You need to add additional permissions to the group: to moderate the forums.
- In the List of Existing Groups area of the Admin Groups page, click the Actions icon for the Forum Admins group, the click Permissions in the pop-up window.
- In the Permissions area, expand the Forums permissions.
- For the Forum Admins group, select the Can admin forums (tiki_p_admin_forum) and click Assign.
The tiki_p_admin_forum permission automatically inherits all of the forum permissions.
- Tiki prompts for confirmation, then saves the information and reloads the page.
- Click Back. The Admin Groups page appears.
The Group Information Area of he Assign Permissions to Group page now shows that the Forum Admins group has one additional permission
