Ondrej explains that role names can be changed via site text settings and mentions that while some permissions can be adjusted in site settings, full customization is limited—e.g., TL3 cannot close topics without TL4. Moin directs to a reference guide for trust-level permissions. Jaskaran lists desired roles like Admin, Moderator, and various

Hello ![]()
You can modify the names of the roles by editing the site text. I assume you mean trust levels?
You can change certain permissions in site settings eg what groups can edit others post. However, its not 100% customisable for example, you can’t give permission to tl3 to close a topic without them being tl4.
Also, this is a community support forum not just for team to answer all the questions ![]()
To find the settings for certain permissions, you can take a look at Trust Level Permissions Reference

Is it possible to create new role and remove existing role
You can probably create a group that the user has to be manually added, and give that group specific perms.
