I’m getting a forum up and running and would like moderators, or another staff level, to be able to make categories. Admin level gives too many abilities for some and could result in messing up the site. Is there a way to give moderators this ability? Or to make a new staff position somewhere between admin and moderator that can create categories?

Permissions to create categories: GreenKatie is seeking a way to allow moderators to create categories without granting them admin level permissions. JammyDodger suggests enabling the moderators manage categories and groups admin setting, which allows moderators to create categories. GreenKatie thanks JammyDodger for clarifying the setting’s capabilities. The setting’s description is updated to better reflect its functionality, changing to Allow moderators to create and manage categories and groups, as submitted in a pull request by awesomerobot.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it allowed creation or just managing. Thanks for clarifying

Allow moderators to create and manage categories and groups
Seems like a good clarification for the setting description; I’ve updated it here:
