I am curious about changing the names of trust levels, and their permissions. I have looked around for some information on these features but all of them have either been a bit unclear, outdated (by a few years), or say that the feature was in progress. Thank you.

You can safely change the names for each trust level, as well as the requirements to move between them, but not the permissions granted.

Gotcha. And that should be available through the pannel, yes?

Awesome, thank you the help. While you’re here, is it possible to add more trust levels?

No, it’s not possible to add more trust levels.

You can create more groups, which are sort of like custom trust levels. They just aren’t automatic.

And can you add specific permissions to groups?

The answer to the question you think you’re answering is yes, but actually, you add the permissions to the categories, not the groups.

I see. Thank you all for your help. :slight_smile:

If we change the tl3 time period to be longer, will that new time period start as soon as I save the change or will it retroactively include older data? Thanks!
