I've got multiple groups on my forum - all NNTP gatewayed.

Users are complaining that if the log in they cannot see half the forums. If they log out they can see them. Since I require login to post they cannot post.

Where should I look for debugging this? The only think I see different is that the half of the groups tht work have a 'leader' of 'root' and the other half don't. I'm not sure how to assign a leader. The inherit stuff in admin-land appear all identical for all groups.

What you've described definately sounds permissions related, use the user-land group manager to check the permissions of the "all registered" user and make sure it has the right permissions.

Here is where my confusion comes in. In user-land group manager. When I select a group under the 'Group Editor Selection' pull down and hit edit. Where do those values come from? And should I be changing those?

Also, should 'root' be added as a leader to those groups? In all cases 'visible' is set to true so I'm not sure why some people wouldn't see them.

The "admin land" group manager states in big red letters that it only to be used to create new groups and specify what permissions can group leaders change for those groups for the users in the group.

The "user lang" group manager is what actually allows you to set permissions.

I recall those big red letters, but what part of my message implies that I am in admin-land? I said I was in user-land group manager and when I click on the Edit Group button under Group Editor Selection, what am I actually doing? Clicking that button populates all the permission fields - but what is that related to? This whole part of the configuration is confusing to me.

From what you've described it sounds like you are in the admin group manager. The user land one only has a group select a big table of permissions for individual users.'

The permissions you are setting in the admin group manager control the permissions group leader will be able to set for group members.
