I have found one thing I think that could be improved upon.

Permissions inheritance.

TurboRenault might be anomaly here as we have some carry over from legacy forums but let me explain :

We run nested groups. For instance :

Imported and Archived Board ( category )

| [Aventime-Owners.com](http://Aventime-Owners.com)

| [Clio16valver.co.uk](http://Clio16valver.co.uk)

| etc

| etc

I want to set the permission at the top level ( imported and Archived Board ) to read only and have the inheritance passed down to the child items.

I dont appear to be able to do that at present so I have to edit 9 children individually. Its not a deal breaker but it would be great to have a parent / child / inheritance option to inherit permissions.
