I can't believe I upgraded to vbulletin from SMF!!!

I assumed that user permissions were the same... or at least close... but what I need to do is apparently IMPOSSIBLE on vBulletin.

In the past, my Global Mods had permission to manage which users on the site (including each other) were part of what groups.

Both Admins and Global Mods had the ability to set up forums with structure based on requested constraints by the moderator. They could moderate the specific thread that the fourm takes place in.

The set up forum was documented and shared amongst several groups.

This moderation on vBulletin is so limited that unless I want to give someone the keys to the castle... I am screwed.

Any suggestions... other than scrapping this system and going back to SMF?

Wait, basically you want Super Mods to be able to create forums?

I assumed incorrectly that there were forum specific admin settings like SMF.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
