Usergroup Permissions on Already Created Usergroups
 

I was told by vBulletin.com to come here to make this request. I hope somebody can help me out here. Evidently 3.6.4 does not have this support (thus why I couldn't find it) but I was told somebody here could make a "hack" that did this for the community. It would act very much like the forum permissions copier but just for usergroups (regardless of forum--because forums would not matter in this case).

First of all I have 174 forums and 78 usergroups--so tons of things. This is from a forum that was created years ago and it is being migrated to VBulletin 3.6.4.

All I need now is a way to copy the rights of the usergroup "registered
users" to the rights of other selected usergroups (about 65 of them)--and I should be able to choose which groups. I do NOT want this at forum level--I want the usergroup rights of 1 usergroup to be copied to the usergroups rights of other usergroups and I could care less
what forum they are in at this level. This will save me many hours as it will give the default usergroup rights that I need.

I see the Permissions Duplication Tools and there is a "Copy Usergroup" in there but it is applied to a single forum. I don't need/want that. I just want to copy the usergroup rights (no how they apply to a forum but the usergroup itself). Is there a way to do this? I thought it would be in the usergroup manager area but I do not seem to find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Eh, as useful as this kind of hack is, people will not be enthusiastic about spending several hours coding a hack to save someone else a 30-45 minutes or so. Not that this isn't a good idea for a hack, it would be very useful. However, this is something that I think vbulletin.com should really integrate into their next version, rather than depending on the mod-making community.

Yeah, totally agree with that. I just think that will be some time coming and I think a fair amount of people would find it useful.

And well, it would save me MANY hours of work and I think others quite a lot of time as well.

heh heh... additionally, I just scanned through plugin locations and there are no plugins to modify usergroups in the admincp. (I just glazed over it... but I am relatively sure that I would have seen it if it was there.) So it would likely need to be a file edit.

Edit: Just took a more comprehensive look through it... it is definitely not there, along with almost all of the admincp plugin locations. Probably to prevent another vbhosting fiasco... lol
