Mod-Berechtigungen und Zugriff

[Garrick]

Is there a way to limit what the mods can see on the back end and do? Also to limit what categories someone can mod?

[Chaboi_3000]

No, there is currently not a way to alter the permissions, as Jeff said in this topic:

Changings permissions for moderator

No, we have no plans to support fine-grained permissions models, either you are a moderator, or admin and get the standard permissions for those roles. We do plan to add category level moderators though.

Moderators for a specific category is on the roadmap, but not yet implemented.

Add moderator for specific category or subcategory

Hello All, I wanna ask about how to make a moderator only for specific category or subcategory. Thanks in advance.

This is what moderators can do vs, admins:

@sam

I spent a few hours cleaning this up.

After my current checkin moderators are granted ALL of the permissions admins have except for the following:

• Moderators can not change site settings
• Moderators can not change site contents
• Moderators can not customize a site
• Moderators can not view the API key or generate one
• Moderators can not see the “health check” for the server
• Moderators can not “force a browser” refresh
• Moderators can not assign “moderator” status or revoke it.

EVERYTHING else is allowed by moderators, you can read a PM stream of a user, handle flags, view real emails, edit profiles, close/archive and delete topics

Internally we have a bit of a terminology issue I would like us to resolve, when doing permission checks we talk about:

1. The “admins”
2. The group of users that are either “admin” or “moderator”
3. The “moderators”

I have no idea what to call group number 2 but I would really like a singular name we can use in code, cause at the moment its kind of crazy that User#moderator? denotes that group.

moderators, you can read a PM stream of a user

Are you sure? Last I knew moderators that are not admins can not access a member’s messages unless they are included in the message.

[Chaboi_3000]

Yeah, it’s probably outdated. Now moderators also can’t:

• Read people’s PM’s
• Get their email
• Cannot create categories.
  @Mittineague is there some that I’m missing here?

Here’s some info about moderator permission changes:

some that I’m missing here?

I imagine there are other “can nots”, but one that comes to mind is Moderators can not impersonate other members.

Ich frage mich, ob Moderatoren andere Benutzer als Moderatoren erstellen können? Denn es scheint, als könnten nur Administratoren das.

Meiner Erinnerung nach ist das korrekt.

Aber wenn man jemanden zum Leader macht, hat dieser viel Macht im Board. Sie können zwar keine Beiträge löschen oder Benutzer sperren, aber sie können Beiträge verstecken oder sogar in das gesperrte Board verschieben, um sie effektiv zu löschen, wenn es zu beunruhigend ist, sie offen zu lassen, bis ein Moderator/Admin online ist.

Leader können ein nützliches Werkzeug in Ihrem Forum sein. In unserer Erfahrung war es jedoch nicht möglich, ihre Befugnisse kontinuierlich hervorzuheben. Daher mussten wir sie am Ende entfernen und stattdessen mehr Moderatoren einsetzen, da sich Benutzer über mangelnde Transparenz bei der Leitung beschwerten.

Beachten Sie, dass die Regulars das Recht haben, Titel, Tags und Kategorien für Beiträge zu aktualisieren. Es gibt eine Menge Kontrolle durch die Community.
