User privileges

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Greetings all,

I have a few questions. I hope somebody can address them.

Can I grant administrator privileges to users for only specific category/categories/forums and not the whole application?

Can I hide Member Listing option for non-Administrators/Anonymous users. I don't want the member listing to b available to anybody who visits the forum. Can these be controlled through any permissions?

TIA,
Amit

AFAIK, you can only control moderator type rights. You can't create "sub-admins" who can then create new forums / grant user rights in specific categories. But I could be wrong on this.

You can modify the user_list.htm template file and wrap the list code in something like:

<#if logged>
  (existing display user list)
<#else>
  (denied message)
</#if>
