I think I've just about figured out how to set up groups and use them to control access to a forum, but one feature I cannot find.

How might a user request permission to join a group?

For example, I have a forum set so that it's VISIBLE, but not READABLE by both anonymous and registered users. It thus appears in the list of forums--tantalizing users to join in. It would be cool if users could click a button and have a request-to-join automatically sent to the moderator/leader of the forum.

Is this feature available and I just missed it?

Thanks for a fabulous forum system. I'm really enjoying it!

A user generally does not request to join a group, but rather request an access to a certain resource (forum) or premission to perform certain actions (posting) inside a forum. This request can come via e-mail, phone, whatever as long as the person(s) in charge get it.

That's cool. I was just hoping there was a more automated way to accomplish this. Y'know, click a button and have your request private-messaged to the person in charge.

A feature like this would greatly encourage users to send in such requests--which could be a good or bad thing, now that I think of it.

Very Happy

Regards,

Jeremy

You can certainly send a PM about it, but in most cases non-priveleged user won't even know the resource exists because it's hidden away be the permissions system.
