Assigning roles to users
I want to set up a forum visible to only some users.
I've made
- a Role "Developer",
- a Category "RubyQ" visible to Developer and Admin,
- logged off, applied for membership as Roland,
- logged back on as admin and accepted Roland.
Now I want to assign the role Developer to the user Roland.
How do I do that?
thanks

I don't know what you mean by the Dashboard. When I log on as admin I see five tabs: Discussions, Categories, Search, Settings, Account.
Is there something I'm not seeing that I should ask my guy about?
thanks
I've asked our guy and he's looking at versions, thinking about Vanilla 2.
But surely this is something you'd want to do in any version.
- Sign in as admin
- Search
- Check "Users" and hit the Search button
- You should see a list of users on the forum now, including "Roland", clickon "Roland"
- In the Panel (left by default) click "Change Role"
- Use the "Choose a New Role" dropdown menu to select "Developer" and hit the "Change Role" button
Then you can add the "Change user roles" ability to the "Developer" role under "Settings" > "Roles & Permissions".
