Think of it as being similar to the fact that HTTP can access all kinds of different documents, so LDAP can be used to access information in directory servers, each of which may have different organizational structures, and within those structures, you often find entries describing users and entries describing roles.</p> <p>I've just looked at the LDAP plugin source and currently login appears to be based on authenticating to the LDAP server using the credentials that are supplied to bbPress, roles dont' appear to be considered... yet. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/group-access-for-forums#post-4488 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:10:50 +0000 chrishajer 4488@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You couldn't be farther from an expert on LDAP that I am :D</p> <p>I just recall seeing the trac ticket and didn't know if it was relevant. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/group-access-for-forums#post-4478 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 05:17:50 +0000 MrPapasWorld 4478@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>far from an LDAP expert, but I thought that would be for connecting to an LDAP service primarily in form of directory services for address book type info... guess I can look into... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/group-access-for-forums#post-4475 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 04:43:29 +0000 chrishajer 4475@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Does LDAP do what you want?

With the forum restriction plugin you could restrict certain folks, but unfortunately what you're looking for isn't here yet. Give it some time though, it may pop up soon enough. ;) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/group-access-for-forums#post-4464 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:17:32 +0000 MrPapasWorld 4464@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have looked at the private forums plugin, but it seems to be an all or nothing deal based on the user being logged in...</p> <p>I didnt find anything when I searched, but wondering if anyone knows of or is working on forum access based on membership in a group? So basically, you would allow forum access to certain groups and you would assign users to various groups (or roles in wp/bb terms). Gives you much finer control over who can access which forums...</p> <p>also, any way to make bbpress inherit the roles as defined in WP? or maybe just add new roles to bb? easy enough to do hacking the code, but I havent looked at the bbpress plugin structure yet...</p> <p>thanks... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/role-based-forums-plugin#post-1925 Sun, 03 Dec 2006 00:36:19 +0000 Trent 1925@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Nothing is up yet, but maybe post something over at the following link because it might be just adding a little code to add a forum list to the code in this topic.

I'd like to be able to pull over a phpBB2-based forum that I run, and using the phpbb2bbpress migration script another poster wrote, I was able to migrate all of the content over perfectly. However, I had at least a couple of private forums that are access-restricted based on user permissions, and I can't really complete the migration until I can lock those forums down.</p> <p>Has anyone written a plugin (or does anyone know if this feature is coming soon?) that will allow role-based access to a specific number of forums in a bbPress installation? I don't want to lock down the whole app (which I've seen a couple of threads about), just a couple of forums within the install.</p> <p>Thanks in advance- </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-group#post-743 Sun, 29 Oct 2006 03:41:53 +0000 n0mer 743@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi again, what about grouping forums?<br /> F.ex. if 10 forums already exist (http://jug.org.ua/forum/forums/list.page , i want to switch this forum to bbPress), it is handy to sort them out in some way.<br /> Or just add smth. like "separator" :) between forum groups</p> <p>And, do smth. with forum deletion; it can be quite complex and painful process to place existing topics, tags and comments somewhere. </p>
