The discussion revolves around the security settings of pre-seeded categories, particularly Site Feedback and Staff. TallTrees inquired about the security settings for the Site Feedback category, which Falco clarified is a public category by default, allowing everyone to create, reply, and see posts. TallTrees was satisfied with this setting.
Meanwhile, Jonathan5 considered deleting the Feedback category and moving its topics to Miscellaneous, but wondered about potential unintended consequences.
Another user, volas, asked about the Staff category’s access permissions, specifically for users with high trust levels or category moderators. JammyDodger replied that the Staff category is only accessible to staff users, including admins and moderators.
Continuing the discussion from Pre-Seeded Site Feedback Category - Allow Modifying Security Rules:
I’m going through my categories to audit the security settings, and for the Site Feedback pre-seeded category I see the following:
So what are the actual security settings? Perhaps a UI tweak to show them like for other categories would be good, but in the meantime, how can I find out what the actual rules are without some lengthy trial and error testing?
Site feedback is a default public category. If that doesn’t suit your needs, you may delete it.
Public as in “everyone can… Create / Reply / See”?
I’m happy with that, and I wouldn’t delete it. It’s a good default category IMHO.
I am considering deleting the Feedback category (and moving its topics into uncategorised, which I’ve renamed Miscellaneous). Might there be any unintended consequences to be regretted?
I’m here with same question about the Staff category.
I know it’s most likely for admins and global moderators. But what about people with high trust level? Or about category moderators? Absolutely not obvious.
I believe the Staff category is only visible/accessible to staff users (ie. Admins and Moderators).
