As you also state, the relation between LDAP and the forum software +is only for login, nothing more. Groups and privileges are set within +the forum software, it's designed to do just that. + +2. I'd keep this as simple as possible. First for the sake of +maintaining, second for the people who are in the groups, and third to +make the "hierarchy" transparent to the users. The more different +groups with different privileges, the more complicated it is for all. + +3. Privileges in the forum have to be tied to the task of the +group/user, nothing else. + +For simplicity I'd go for + + - Admin group (creating/changing forum structures, creating groups, +maintenance of the forum, making announcements about the forum, etc.) + + - Global moderators = all moderators, where moderating means: + - - moving/merging/closing threads, editing posts (if necessary +because of forum or legal rules), counseling users (positive and +negative), announcing important things, etc. + + - Special groups who could be additional moderators of one section, +like packagers and translators who are not in Global Moderators but +could be moderators and contacts for the "Packaging and Translating" +section. They have privileges only in this section. + +That's all. Simple, transparent, easy to understand and to maintain +and to scale if needed. + +We've been working with this setup for years (even before we switched +to phpbb3). Moderators were happy, users knew who to turn to. Admin +was happy :) + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000625.html">[Mageia-webteam] Questions about the forum - Part II +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000628.html">[Mageia-webteam] Questions about the forum - Part II +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#627">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#627">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#627">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#627">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-webteam">More information about the Mageia-webteam +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
