I see, because if nothing is there, admins and staff have the same permissions, so by adding this, it limits to really just the admins.

My question in that case would be: does it make sense that the boxes for “admin” can be ticked, because it seems that admins can always See, Reply, Create, so I guess that the boxes are a bit irrelevant, right?
