Hi, I’ve just installed a fresh install of WP and bbP and I’ve got to the point where I need to choose the user role mappings.

However, although I’ve used WP extensively I’ve never used bbP before so I’m not sure what mappings I should use. I was thinking maybe something like the following:

Administrator – Key Master

Editor – Administrator

Author – Moderator

Contributor – Member

Subscriber – Inactive

Can anyone with experience give me any better suggestions? Also, can I easily change these roles later?

It depends how much you trust editors with user records. I would tend to go with this.

Administrator – Key Master

Editor – Moderator

Author – Member

Contributor – Member

Subscriber – Member

As you can see, you don’t need to have one-to-one relationships.

Thank you Sam.
