Sub Forum Moderators

[BenCurry]

Hi,

How do I set a member to be a moderator of a single forum category or subform?

I thought I had figured this out but upon testing I can still moderate in all areas when signed in as that user

Thanks.

You can assign specific forums to moderators.

Thanks for the fast reply!

This is what I have already tried.  

When using AdminCP to sign in as that user I can still moderate all the boards.  

Does 'sign in as user' make me keep all my admin permissions?

I'm not sure.

Create a dummy account, make it a moderator with specific forums, and then login to that account without using "sign in as" to see what happens.

No, you should only have the permissions of the user you signed-in as. Make sure that you did not give them any moderator permissions outside of what @-FP showed in his screenshot.

Ok, i'm going around in circles with this now.  

I've triple checked everything to make sure its not me, I've tried the same steps on 3 different users and even created a dummy account to try and sign in (on a separate browser too) and it still giving global moderator permissions.  

i'm going to

AdminCP>Members>Moderators>Add Moderator

I choose Member instead of group. Then on forum tab choose only the forum I want that member to moderate and save it.  

Each time they are getting global moderator powers.  

 

Any ideas?

I'd submit a support ticket, what you are doing should work.

Yes, I would recommend submitting a ticket in that instance, so we can look at your specific configuration and advise accordingly.

Hi, I don't find the tab to assing forums to moderators, what can I do?
