I'd like to create private forums for specific classes I'm offering. I can see how I can create Usergoups and assign permission accordingly. But since I can't put one user in multiple Usergroups, how could I allow them to be in two different forums if they are in two different classes?
You still have an option to do this without multi-usergroup feature.
For Example:
If you have two forums (cat, forum or subforum), say Class Forum 1 and Class Forum 2 and two users Student 1 and Student 2. You can do this configuration to make a user specific access forums:
1. Create a Class Usergroup 1 Usergroup and attach User 1 to this group (Dashboard > Forums > Usergroup)
2. Create a Class Usergroup 2 Usergroup and attach User 2 to this group (Dashboard > Forums > Usergroup)
3. Navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Forums. Edit Class Forum 1 and set permissions:
- Admin - Full Access
- Moderator - Moderator
- Customer - No Access
- Registered No Access
- Guests - No access
- Class Usergroup 1 - Standard Access
- Class Usergroup 2 - No Access
4. Edit Class Forum 2 and set permissions:
- Admin - Full Access
- Moderator - Moderator
- Customer - No Access
- Registered No Access
- Guests - No access
- Class Usergroup 1 - No Access
- Class Usergroup 2 - Standard Access
