Group Permissons

To set group permissions you need to go to admin>>>users and groups>>>groups. To see and set the permissions of any group, you will see in the actions column (screen shot above), beside the modify cog, a plus and tick symbol groups - Organizing Groups / Colors in Legend Perms. Clicking that will take you to the permissions page like the screen shot below. You can then select which forums your group will moderate, if any. Click save when finished.

Approving/Denying and Removing Group Members

When a member requests to join a group you moderate, you will be sent an email informing you with a link you can click that will take you to the group requested. Alternatively you can check your groups at any time, by clicking the 'usergroups' link or button in your forum navigation bar. This will then show you a list of all the groups that have been made (excluding hidden ones if you are not the administrator). You can click on any group to see its members and at the very bottom of the group page you will see any requests to join your group as shown in the screen shot below. You can then choose whether to accept or deny a member.

I'm in Categories and forums, I've created a group and added some members! - but there are no site rules! - I only see my discussion forum with all my categories! I can add new categories, change and rights for each category! - At the top there is a - Reduct all and a + no explanation this symbol! -and next to free debate forum! and to the right topics and posts and add new categories! - There is no yellow cog to be seen!
