Hello?

I need to apply different forum access rights to users.

For example, I have A, B, C, D, E forums and users have level 1 access, level 2 access, so on so the access rights should be.

- Level 1 access users can access forum A.

- Level 2 access users can access forum A and Forum B.

- Level 3 access users can access forum A, B and C.

Could you please tell me how I can do this?

Hi @iwrtn45,

I need to apply different forum access rights to users.

Please read this topic:

https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-5-0-is-released/

I found this thread and wonder how I can create user groups?

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups admin page, just click on Add new button:

 

More information about Usergroups and Permissions you can find here:

@iwrtn45,

As mentioned Sofy, you should use wpForo Usergroup system. Especially Secondary Usergroups.

For example, create three Usergroups.

1. UG 1, UG2, UG3 (make sure the option "can be used as secondary") is enabled in these usergroup settings.

2. Create three Forums F1, F2, F3

4. Set Standard access for UG1 in F1 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups

5. Set Standard access for UG2 in F2 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups

6. Set Standard access for UG3 in F3 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups

7. Edit user and set Secondary Usergroups according to levels. If you want grant access to F1 and F2 forum you can set that user Secondary usergroups UG1 and UG2. Make sure the Primary Usergroup (Registered) also set No Access for F, F2 and F3 to allow wpForo only work based on Secondary Usergroup accesses.

If something doesn't work after each change in Usergroups, Forums and Users, navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and click on [Delete User Cache] and [Delete All Caches] button.

Hello?

I have a serious problem with user access right management.

I created Advanced member, forum member and registered member user group to use them as 2nd user groups.

I created a new user "registeredmember" for testing and this new user belongs to "member" user group automatically and I assign it to registered member group as 2ndary group.

When I test this user can not see any forum at all and this kind of user access rights management problem happen to all the users.

Can you please check what the problem is?
