Create a new Moderators group from scratch

[WebCMS]

I customized the Moderators group to reduce the permissions but now want to have another Moderators group with all the default permissions. How do I create a new Moderators group with default permissions?

TIA

The default moderators group that comes on first install has all moderator permissions. Bear in mind that moderators is a set of permissions, rather than a usergroup. So the 'moderator' usergroup is added to be moderators in Members>Staff>Moderators. 

So to answer your question, you would create a new group and save it, then you would go to Members>Staff>Moderators and add that group in there with all permissions.

Will it mess up anything if I rename the restricted moderators to Sub Moderators and the new unrestricted one to Moderators? I guess they have numeric IDs behind the scenes and these are just display values

Is it enough to rename them under Staff and Groups?

You can rename groups, no problem at all.
