hi - moderator?

I've asked before about making a moderator without access to the ADM panel, but I can't figure it out from the explanation I got!

I have now found a member who would like to be a moderator!

Can you provide a very specific and simple procedure for creating a moderator?

Greetings
Paul

Good afternoon!

If you want to make one user a moderator without joining him to a special group:

AP - Users & Groups - Users management



Next, tick the sections where the user will be a moderator.



Don't forget to save.

If you want to add a user to a special group and give this group moderation rights, then, please, read the tutorial: Organizing Groups - Section "Advanced group management mode" - Question "How do I set group access rights to forum sections?"

users management is nowhere to be found!

Do you have advanced mode activated in AP?

I can make him an editor, but then he can get into the ADM panel and I don't want him to be able to do this!

Note that I have the AP in English. You may have text in a different language, but the buttons should be in the same order.



In this case, the user will not have access to AP - only to the moderator tools in that particular section (which you choose).

I have translated the Danish into English - user administration - look up user - users options which is in English - etc. - when I have looked up his name I have modify a user and rights to click on!

I have tried it and it now says that he is a moderator in his profile!

If it says his the mod then he is.

So you have group called Moderators that have access to the AP?  Could you not just create a group that moderates the forum, but do not have access to the AP.  In English, the group that only has access to the AP is the Administrator group when you create a forum.
