Discussion Board Moderators

  • Updated

Adding New Moderators to your Discussion Boards (Forums)

 

While Administrators are automatically able to moderate the Discussion Boards/Forums, Admins can also designate additional Users to have "Moderator" permissions to one or multiple Discussion Board Categories. 

To configure a User on your instance as a Moderator for a Discussion Board, open the Admin Panel and navigate to Social -> Discussion Board Dashboard. After opening this page, select the "Users" box.

 

 

After selecting the "Users" box, the menu shown in the next screenshot below will appear. 

Through this menu you can select individual Users to edit their moderator status/permissions, or select multiple Users via the [2] and [3] checkboxes to edit the moderator permissions of multiple Users at the same time. 

 

 

After selecting an individual User, click the "Moderation" tab at the top of the page to view the next menu shown below. 

Once here, you can decide if the selected User will be a Moderator, and which category or categories the selected User will be a Moderator for. Select "Global Moderator" to make the User a moderator for all Discussion Boards (Forums). 

 

 

Discussion Board Moderator Permissions

Once a User has been designated as a Moderator for a Discussion Board (Forum), they can perform the following actions to the posts within Categories that they have been assigned as a Moderator to:
 

  • Change the post's icon
  • Delete posts
  • View the author's User ID
  • Move the post to a new topic or Category
  • Set the subject for all replies for a post
  • View the Ban History of the Author
  • Move the Topic to a new Category
  • Change the Topic's icon

Below is an example of how Moderators see the Forum within Topics that they are assigned as a Moderator to. Through the "Moderation" buttons they can perform any of the actions listed above.
