Hi, I’d like to be able to delegate the maintenance of “Watched Words” to a specific moderator, rather than giving him full admin permission. I can’t seem to see if / how this can be done. Is it possible, or is it planned? Delegation of potentially high maintenance low-level admin seems like quite a desirable function (?)

Moderators can see/change watched words already without being a full on admin. Or am I misunderstanding?
Oh dear … it may be I’ve been mis-informed by a moderator (!) … going to double check …
Ok, technically he was wrong, but there is an issue. If (as an admin) I grab the watched words URL and paste it into a browser logged in as a moderator, it will actually work.
However.
“Watched Words” does not appear to be available on the menus on the left hand side, and trying to go into “Customise” in Admin yields “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.” , so without the link (which I’m about to send him) he doesn’t seem able to “get” to the Watched words section.
Do I have something set-up wrong, should he be able to see this? (having “customise” generate an error make me feel something is broken…?)
Apologies. I should have specified where that was.
Click the 
Admin button in the sidebar
Then find ‘community → watched words’
As a moderator this should work. I have tested this as a moderator and it works fine for me.
Ok, so I showed the previous screen specifically so you could see the “Awarded Moderator” badge, but being in the Admin section makes no difference, Community still isn’t there. Is it possible there is a setting somewhere that hides Community from moderators?

Issue resolved in PM. Turns out the admin sidebar enabled groups site setting didn’t list the ‘moderators’ group.
