Roles...

edited December 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I am running into problems trying to decide what to name the different roles on my install and what they should be able to do... I guess I was wondering what other people have for a roles system... Mine-> Administrator (Full) Assistant Administrator (Partial, edits custom pages and such) Moderator (takes care of the discussions) Power User (can view another board, vip?) Member (normal)

    What do you mean by 'can view another board'? All the other role names are very well chosen, as they are self-explaining, I think.

    The power user can view another category(sorry, used to being on other software... boards/categories...lol) Yeah idk, the hardest part is trying to decide how much they should be able to do. Such as on one of my boards, I have 2 good friends who are the moderators, and since I have been working on another site, I gave them an account that has all permissions... so they use their account for moderating and if they need permissions that they dont have, they use the admin account.

    Still so not understand what means "another category". Can normal user not see any category?
  • WaterskiaddictWaterskiaddict ✭
    no they cannot see that category, it is sort of a vip lounge...

    I see. Then I would use Member and VIP Member, as you already said. That is self-explaining. Very well chosen, so. :)
