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?
