Re-usable custom Permission Sets-Will pay if needed

[ladyfyre]

Ok....this is a hack i think MANY admins here would LOVE to see created.

For those of us who have a large number of forums, and a tendency to add new ones frequently at the request of users...this would be a god-send.

I am think of a simple addition of a new table to store re-usable persmission sets. For example, our forums are grouped by Cities which serve as categories...but the subforums are often the same. Every time i add a new city, i have to spend large amounts of time setting the permissions for each forum...as different forums have different permissions for various usergroups.

It would be GREAT if I could instead set up once the usergroup permissions for one TYPE of forum, and then upon creation of it, have a drop down menu listing forum permission types or "Manual Edit", if it is does not fit any of them.

With over 280 forums, and over 30 usergroups....setting permissions is taking up WAYYYY too much of my time.

As always, if no one else sees the benefit in providing this hack based on how useful it would be....i can and will pay for someone to create it for me.
