The following error message is displayed.</p> <p>"You don't have permission to do that."</p> <p>I created a new user and bumped it up to Keymaster and it does have the ability to create new forums.</p> <p>With some guidance from _ck_ I went into phpmyadmin and compared the bb_capabilities between the two users. There was a slight difference (which I stupidly didn't record), so I copied the capabilities from the new keymaster and pasted them in place of the old keymasters capabilities.</p> <p>Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem. Both keymasters have identical usermeta now, and its still not working.</p> <p>I have bbpress integrated with Wordpress, so the user data is shared between the two systems.</p> <p>Any ideas? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-8602 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 06:58:24 +0000 snakefoot 8602@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok one is seen as Administrator until browing to the WordPress site, where the bbpress-inegration-plugin is activated and the rights are changed to the default role.</p> <p>Still weird that no usermeta means Admin-role in WP. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-8600 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 06:42:11 +0000 snakefoot 8600@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Found out that bbpress-intergration-plugin in Wordpress correctly updates user-metadata when going through Wordpress-login. But when using the bbpress-login, then it just creates a cookie and when browsing to the Wordpress site, then one has Admin-priviledges because user-metadata is non-existing (quite odd actually). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-8599 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 06:13:43 +0000 snakefoot 8599@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm using bbPress 0.82 and every time I create a user then it gets the role WP role as Administrator (Eventhough the default role is subscriber).

Then you just 'edit' their profile and one of the options is to change their role. It isn't done through the admin right now.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-you-add-moderators#post-7423 Sun, 13 May 2007 21:14:24 +0000 BruceWhittignton 7423@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Actually, when I just try to add a new identity for testing, it seems to have automatically been set as a moderator. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-you-add-moderators#post-7421 Sun, 13 May 2007 20:52:28 +0000 BruceWhittignton 7421@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sorry to be asking so many questions, but I'm having trouble finding answers to these basic questions and I figure it's easiest to ask them one at a time. Also, I think I was seduced a little by how easy it was to get WordPress going. bbPress seems a lot harder. Anyway:</p> <p>How do you add moderators? In the admin page, I can see who they are, but can't add anybody.</p> <p>Do I have to get the people that I am inviting as moderators to register themselves, and then I can go and change their privileges? Or can I somehow add them on my own (which is what I'd like).</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-5433 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:48:28 +0000 M 5433@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Are you using the Role Manager (or a similar) plugin in WP? That causes registration through bbPress to set new users as an Admin in WP. I disabled my bbPress registration because of that and just run everyone through WP registration instead. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-5423 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:21:26 +0000 Trent 5423@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>As long as your wordpress default user role is subscriber, it should be working...hmm. If not, maybe post a comment on that plugin in the bbpress.org/plugins/ repository. I am pretty sure it should work that way.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-5413 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 07:52:03 +0000 dkokin 5413@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Is it possible to force new bbpress registrations to become (wordpress) subscribers? I'm a little frustrated with my bbpress subcribers unable to use features such as gravitars while commenting in the wordpress section of my site.

That would mean that if they are given author status then that would be the default role for new members in Wordpress. Maybe check that out.</p> <p>I tested this on my test forum and then changed the default role from subscriber to admin and sure enough the new user that I created came across in WP as an admin.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-receive-to-much-privileges-when-sharing-bbpress-wordpress#post-3380 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 01:30:42 +0000 hkan 3380@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've done some searching around the forums regarding this issue; haven't found anything sim. to my problem though - is the error on my side?</p> <p>I've set up wordpress and bbpress on my sandbox apache server and enabled sharing accounts between wordpress and bbpress. When I create a user on the wordpress end, that user gets correct status in bbpress. However, when I register a user through bbpress, it gets far too high privileges on the wordpress side (author)!</p> <p>I'd like to manually set new users to read-only on the blog side of things.</p> <p>How can I prevent this? </p>
