Very confused on permissions

In the individual moderator settings you can set them to any level from just allowing them to edit to allowing them to ban a members username, i have copied thelist below of options you have in the area I directed you to above:

You can give them as much or as little power as you wish this way but it is time consuming and you must have a bit of patience to get through it all depending on how many moderators you have and how many forums you have.

Good luck
