Well I am having a problem with my usergroups and forum permissions.

Let me give you this example. I have 2 usergroups, A and B. Usergroup A can only access usergroup A forums and usergroup B can only access usergroup B forums. If I want someone to be a part of both usergroup A and B, I'm kind of out of luck unless I want to make a new usergroup, right? Is there any way to "mix" permissions when it comes to secondary usergroups, or will it always only give primary usergroup access?

Primary is the color or <span> that the user shows up as on the forum.

In order to do this just change the user to primary A and then go back and check the B usergroup right under the drop down box.

but if usergroup B is typically restricted from accessing usergroup A forums, anyone who is primary A but secondary B will still be unable to access B forums.

You need to set it so that group A can inherit permissions from group B and vice-versa

Usergrop markup is determined by the Display Usergroup (which defaults to the primary usergroup).
