Hi Support
In Settings > Forum Accesses I control all permissions to be applied for each forum.
There are for example:
Can set topic solved: checked/non checked
Can set own topic solved: checked/non checked
and...
Can close topic: checked/non checked
But there is no
Can close own topic: checked/non checked
I find this permission most convenient when you want to grant permission to close topics but limit this permission to "close own topic" only.
Is there a way to include this permission?
Hi @jorgew,
I'm really sorry, but wpForo doesn't have "Can close own topic" permission.
In general, the "Can close topic" is designed for high-level users admin, moderation, etc. However, we'll take into consideration to implicate "Can close own topic" Can in future releases.Â
Hi @sofy

This is exactly what I need.
In my forums there is a (Q+A) private forum that is restricted to only the BoD of the organization. What I need is that any director -but not the admin (who should stay out)- nor moderators (who are kept out, directors don't want to be moderated)- can close their own [private] topics.
Would be nice to have that permission included soon.
You are making of wpForo a really beautiful and powerful plugin so far, thanks!!
molte grazie 🙂
