This is not currently possible as far as im aware - only the original poster and admin can mark topic as solved.

Thanks for reply

I noticed that if set an user as Moderator, the user can mark any topices as solved ?

I also noticed that, at the settings-\>plugins page, the `accept all solutions trust level` is 4, does that means that any user whose trust level is 4 can mark any topices as solved ?

That is correct. Staff (admins + moderators) can mark any post as a solution.

Also correct - you can select what TL of users can mark any post as a solution.
