Hi, I have a difficulty with that setting: approve unless allowed groups. This is my setting (TL1 to TL4 have been set, screen capture is in French): [screen-capture (Captioned by AI)] Based on the above setting, I expected my TL2 users posts not to be requiring approval, but they are. I may be…

[image] Patrick EMIN: approve post count = 1 I think that’s why the first post of a tl1 user needs approval even if you set approve unless trust level to tl1.

Yes but posts queued in my case are not the first ones, so there is something else playing up.

There are a bunch of different things that could be going wrong on you site, and helping you is going to be a game of whack a mole for the rest of us.
