Assign Forum Moderaton to a Usergroup, not user--possible?
 
Greetings!
I would like to be efficient, and assign moderation permissions for a forum group (parent & children) to a usergroup.

I only see a way to assign moderation (not Super Moderation) to individual users, not groups.

How can this be done?

Kinda confused on what you're asking... do you want a usergroup (Usergroup A) to moderate board A and have Usergroup B to moderate board B?

It should be able to be done by ACP -> Forum Manager -> Forum Permissions.... just give one usergroup admin powers...

I think there is a modification that allows you to assign a usergroup as 'moderator'. Do a search.

Almost, blue, I need Usergroup A to moderate Forum Z, and Usergroup B also. and Usergroup B to also moderate forum G. I've only found--so far--the ability to assign users to Forum moderation, not usergroups.

Ahh. Well, I actually did search, but the forum search engine is not, well, my favorite.

BUT, I really thank you for letting me know that your (it turns out correct) corporate memory remembered something, which I've now found. Although roundabout.

"usergroup as moderator"
"assign usergroup as moderator"
both yield this from the vBulletin.org forum search engine here...
Quote:

The search term you specified (as) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer....
Note the 2d term is NOT under 3 words. Nor was the first, unless "as" doesn't count as a word.

AND, before I posted my question, I had already searched for, in All Forums, all Posts
"assign a usergroup as 'moderator'"
"usergroup assigned to moderate a forum"
"usergroup moderate a forum"
"how to assign a usergroup as a moderator"

all with the same error message.

I was hoping not to potentially show up as an idiot, but, well, there you go; I did anyway. But searches like that always worked in google! ;) :eek: Idea!

Aha, I searched in google! "assign usergroup as moderator vbulletin"
No go, here: [Moderators] Add Usergroup as moderators . That was Oct 8 2008.
But it looks like an unsupported 3.5 mod might work: Add Usergroup as Moderator. I'll let the first group know.

I see I should have searched google first. ;) Lesson learned!

Thanks for encouraging me to search better, Lynne, and putting me on to a solution. :D

I too want a working version of a mod for this... It should be built into VB to begin with...
I have people in groups and some of those groups oversee certain sections of the forums. It sucks to have to add 10 -15 users one at a time to be moderators when I already have them in a group...
The 3,5 version has some flaws in it due to things like social groups being added afterwards etc.


As for your problem with the search, it's not that you need 3 words, it's that the words have to be 3 letters or longer, so "usergroup moderate a forum" has "a" in it which causes the error... (and the rest have 1 or 2 letter words as well) It's a pain that it messes up sentence searches instead of just ignoring those words, but that is the problem. We have gotten so used to google's search ways that the older search systems mess us up now ;)

aha! never knew that. Thanks for cluing me in.

BUT--it's easier to search on google anyway. ;)
