2) By default when you create a forum, FUDforum automatically creates a group that manages permissions for that forum. However, that does not preclude you from creating your own group that would control permissions of any number of forums.
|
Well yes, but that was one of my original problems: "FUDforum automatically creates a group that manages permissions for that forum" - but who do these permissions apply to? Only the people that are in the group defined for that forum, I suppose?
|
Automatically created groups always contain 2 users, GLOBAL anon and registered. Meaning that the permission are specified for all anonymous and all registered users. The default permissions for newly created forums are taken from the "special" Global (Anonymous | Registred) Access groups you can find in the admin group manager.

1) members_A controlling forum A, giving read/post permissions
2) members_BCD controlling forums B/C/D, giving read/post/make thread permissions
However, as every member needs to be able to access all 4 forums A/B/C/D, I have to put every member into group members_A and members_BCD. For one group that's still manageable but I have 6+ groups, 11+ forums and all of the groups need to be members of 3 or more FUDforum groups in average so everyone gets access to all forums they need to have access to.

Default forum permissions already take care of this. All anon users have read & search permissions, all registred users have read/reply/search/etc....

With that, managing all forum groups is a lot harder since I need to go to the user-land's group manager and see which resources a particular group controls.
|
If you click edit beside a group in admin control panel it'll show you which forum(s) are controlled by this group.

Also, users in the "Global Registered" FUDforum group need read/post permissions in forums A/B/E/H/K but only get thread creation permissions in forums B/E/H/K. Since there however is only one "Global Registered" group which from my understanding controls the permissions registered users get for ALL resources.
|
This can be done in a number of ways, but the simplest is to simply remove the create thread permission from the global registered group (in user-land group manager) from the default group associated with forum A.
