I'm getting the following error message when trying to access forum topics despite being in the "Administrator" user role and Admin user group within wpForo.

Your user level does not have appropriate permission to view the content

This doesn't allow multiple attachments, but I can confirm the following

My user role is set to administrator
The user role administrator is synched to the wpForo user group admin
The user group admin is set to have full access in wpForo

Any help would be appreciated. Environment credentials are dev/dev. Thanks.

Update - I just had to restore a website backup (unrelated issue) and will need to re-do the wpForo setup I had done earlier. I'll let you know once I do this so you can review at that point. Please disregard for now. Thanks.

HI @aaronmckeon,

Please go to Dashboard > wpForo > Forums, edit one of the forum, check Forum Permissions field, then go to Dashboard > wpForo > Accesses and check your forum accesses. There are lots of CAN's enabled/disabled for each forum access.

For more info, check this FAQ Topic: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/wordpress-user-roles-wpforo-usergroups-and-forum-accesses/
