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.

Group permission bug

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).
