Permissions
Permissions are highly granular and grouped into four major sections, which are:
Global Permissions
These are used to control access on a global level and apply to the entire bulletin board. They are further divided into User Permissions, Group Permissions, Administrators and Global Moderators.
Forum Based Permissions
These are used to control access on a per forum basis. They are further divided into Forum Permissions, Forum Moderators, User Forum Permissions and Group Forum Permissions.
Permission Roles
These are used to create different sets of permissions for the different permission types later being able to be assigned on a role-based basis. The default roles should cover the administration of bulletin boards large and small, though within each of the four divisions, you can add/edit/delete roles as you see fit.
Permission Masks
These are used to view the effective permissions assigned to Users, Moderators (Local and Global), Administrators or Forums.
For further information on setting up and managing permissions on your phpBB3 board, please see the section on Setting permissions of our Quick Start Guide.
