AtariAge Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Is there any way to specify which groups can delete reports in the Report Center? I'd like to make it so that only the Admin group can actually delete reports, as I always want to see reports before they are nuked. Unfortunately, sometimes moderators delete reports before I'm able to look at them. I just asked them not to do that, but that's not infallible. If there isn't already a setting for this, could one possibly be added? Thanks, ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Delete permissions in the report center are currently automatically given to anyone with ACP access. So if your moderators do not have access to the ACP, they should not be able to delete reports. We may add more fine grained controls to this in the future, but I can't promise anything right now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAge Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for the explanation--looks like I was wrong about moderators being able to delete reports. I used a test account to verify this, so I must have been on crack earlier when I wrote the original post. However, I did run into a different problem. It appears that the "Moderators" group cannot view "Forum Post" reports. I gave a test account moderator access and then looked at the Report Center. The only reports I can see with that account are User and Private Message reports. Here are some screenshots: User "Testbot4" in the Moderators group: Here are the permissions setup in the Forum Plugin for the Report Center. You can see the "Moderators" group is selected: Same user visiting Report Center. There should be several post reports, but they are not showing up: After giving this user Global Moderator privileges, he can now see all the reports: Help?

AtariAge Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 One other thing--an active "Delete Report" button is visible when viewing a report even though you do not have access to delete it. Would be nice if this button was not visible in the same way that the Delete Reports option is removed from the dropdown on the main RC page. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Are the reports they can't see from forums they actually have moderator privileges to? I believe those permissions do get checked when determining which reports to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. ..Al PS: The issue with the delete button still stands, though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Changed it to not show the button if you can't delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
