Edit a single member
To edit any member, simply click on their profile name when you are in the all members page, and you will be taken to that member's edit page. On the edit page you can control many aspects of that member's access, custom title, groups and privileges .
Alternately, you can go directly to a member's edit page by using the Interact menu on any post that they have made. Click Interact and then select Manage.
If you are using the ezboard layout, you will need to click More instead of Interact
Details
Across the top of this page is the member name, stats, notes and IP addresses. You can click the local/global tabs to toggle between their board stats and their global yuk stats.
You can leave notes in your member's pages that other admins can see. All notes will be dated, and you can browse through old notes. Notes are also added here when you warn or ban members.
Custom Settings
This area is where you manage the status of your member. You can promote to admin or demote to member. You can warn and ban. You can also choose to set posting limits, and allow or disallow signatures and avatars. You can also enable both auto titles and custom titles.
If you do NOT see Promote to admin when you view the edit page of your members, then you are an admin who does not have Administrator Moderation powers. See the next section for details on this.
Administrator Powers
As the owner of your community, you can control what powers you Administrators have. The owner has ALL powers. The default setting for other admins is below:
If Administrator Moderation is not checked, then that admin will NOT see this box when they edit other members or admins. They cannot edit the powers of admins, or promote members.
If you do not see the box above when you view members, then you are an admin who does not have Administrator Moderation powers. Only your board owner can give you that power (but if you are a migrated ezboard and your owner is not available, please put in a ticket so that we can sort this out for you)
Forum Permissions
Check and manage the access permissions to all forums in your community for this member in all this section. You will see each forum on your board listed, and the access that this person has to the forums. The columns in this section represent:
- Forum name
- The security status of the forum
- The number of posts the member has in that forum
Then there are radio buttons to allow you to define the access to each forum. These allow you to:
- Deny access - This is like banning the member from that forum.
- Default - This means that the member is on the default setting.
- View - The member can view the forum
- Reply - The member can reply in the forum
- Lead - The member can start topics in the forum
- Moderate - the member is a moderator of this forum.
This list is inclusive - ie, if a member is set to Lead, then they can also reply and view. If they are a moderator, then they can also lead, reply and view.
The green bar shows you what the default access is for each forum. If you set a member on default for a private forum and the green bar does not extend to view and beyond, then that member does NOT have access to that forum by default. If you set that member to "lead" you'll see a pale green bar extending to lead. This shows you that the member now has access that overrides the default.
Chat Permissions
This lets you set the members access to the chat room. You can deny access, or give moderator powers here.
