I have created a group called "Webmaster": As you can see the group has all permissions. After assigning this group to my account I doesnt have all permissions (See dasboard options on the left side).

With Administrator rank:

With Webmaster rank:

//EDIT: After updating to wpForo 1.5.1 the problem still exists

Hi Marabara,

this is not a bug, wpForo is designed to work this way. Only the user, that belongs to Admin usergroup has accesses to all wpForo dashboard options. Even when you create a new usergroup (in your case Webmaster) and check all permissions it doesn't mean that this new usergroup's member (Webmaster) has the same permission as admins.

In case you want to say thank you 😊
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
