I want to create a new user role on my forum, as a basis for fiddling with the private forums plugin. Essentially I want to be able to give some users on my forum a specific role (in addition to ‘member’) that will allow them to access specific forums without giving them mod/admin powers. I’ll need more than one new role (it’s for a Guild Wars alliance forum, and each guild needs to have its own private section).

I’m fairly confident as to how to modify the private forums plugin to enable what I want – all I need to know is how to create the new user roles to enable this.

I’ve managed to establish that add_role is the bbPress function I want, but (knowing absolutely no php) I have no idea how to use it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Realised that the private forums plugin can’t actually do what I was planning. Help no longer needed.

Nice, akhater. Just for simplicity and maintainability, you don’t actually have to copy and paste the member capabilities, you can simply duplicate them through code. (For example)
