The discussion revolves around the possibility of making a private message public and customizing moderator permissions. golfman inquired about allowing group members to publish private messages to a public board without being moderators. Falco replied that this is not possible and that the message would need to be flagged to staff for review.
As an alternative, golfman asked about restricting moderator permissions, such as preventing access to forum analytics and user info. Falco stated that customizing permissions is not possible, but recommended considering a Category Moderator role as a potential solution.
Hey everyone, I am wondering it’s possible for members of a group to take a private message and publish it to a certain category on the public board.
Example: A group gets a message with a question. The question gets solved and they want to post the correspondence on a public board so that all users can see… etc.
Is it possible for a group member to do this WITHOUT being a moderator?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
No, they will need to flag the message to staff asking for it to become public.
Okay I see. Thanks for your response. As an alternative, do you know of any way to restrict what moderators can see on the backend? I would like them to be able to perform most functions of moderators, but NOT be able to see the forum analytics, edit user info, etc. (sort of a hybrid between TL4 and a moderator).
Is this possible?
No, there is no way to customize permissions. The closest to that would be a Category Moderator.
