Restricted member able to Quote/Modify/Remove posts
« on: February 15, 2022, 07:23:04 pm »
I created a board for members put on hold/account closed - only visible if they are in a specific member group with 0 permissions. The only thing they should be able to do is a) view the topic and b) reply to the topic. (they can't see anything else on the forum at all)


However, on using a 'testing account' assigned to that usergroup although all other restrictions work, they can quote, modify or remove posts within the topic, which nobody should be able to do apart from Admin/Mod accounts.

I've checked and triple checked all the settings.. can anyone offer advice please?

Go to the users profile Then click on Show Permissions
then review the permissions. you can click on the board name on that page and see what permissions they have.

Apparently while they are restricted from viewing other boards etc.,, there are permissions granted under "Given by:  Regular Members, Just joined" on the new board (even though I have it set to 'use unique permissions'). 
Is it possible to change this please? (I could use step by step instructions, if possible)

Edited to say - I've sorted it, by choosing 'default' for the board instead of 'read only' it reverts to normal restrictions..  Phew! :D
