Create New User Group

The Forum ☛ User Groups ☛ Create New User Group administration panel is where you can create new User Groups for your Forum. If you are just getting beginning with your Forum, you can read our Getting Started with User Groups guide to help you with the basics.

Create New User Group


This admin panel is used to create a new User Group. When created, this User Group will not have any members and will not have any permissions for your Forums. You will need to add members via this admin page and then add the User Group to your Forums with a Permission set via the Manage Forums admin page.

Enter a User Group name and description and check the moderation box if this user group should be considered moderators. This considered moderators box is used to display moderators for the forums. User Group Permissions are still controlled via the Permission Sets. Please remember that the Guests, Members and Moderators are pre-defined User Groups that cannot be modified or deleted.

Please note that creating a User Group by itself does nothing. You must still assign Members to the User Group and then combine the User Group (and its Members) and a Permission set, and apply it to a Forum for the User Group to have any benefit.
