Personal User Groups?

Hi there,

On my forum, groups called "Personal User" are created without me or any other admin lifting a finger.
They're a hidden group, each pertaining of 1 member each.

Would just like to know how/why these are created, and what would happen if we deleted the group?

Thanks.

They are created so you could make a single user a mod of a forum or set permissions only for that user.

Hello,

a personal user group is a hidden group for just 1 user (can be more if you want to add others there), and is generally created when an admin changes the permissions for a user to view additional places on the forum.

For example, my forum is called pokemon, and has 5 forums seen by normal members.
A member called John joins my forum and he is a good friend of mine in real life and I want him to view more rooms which I have made.
I go into his user-profile and allow him to view these rooms.

He has this ability to see these additional rooms now, and he appears as a "personal user" in the groups as the permissions are controlled by the groups.


Do you understand this?

Thanks, I do.

So deleting the groups would just mean they lose their 'Special Acess?'
