Question User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

Currently, this is not possible. It is something that we are working on but at present, it is not available. Kunena currently uses the Joomla groups such as Registered User, Author, Editor, etc.
Hope this answers your question.

ah it does, thanks for lettin me know.

I'm working on a site that really needs some micro-managed permissions. So far it's looking like the previous build is going to be our launch forum system, it isn't really up to the kind of permissions management the board/side directors want.

What I'd like to see in the future are real mix and match settings that I can apply to individual boards, for example:

Forum A: Everyone can view, Authors on up can post, All registered users can reply

Forum B: Authors and up can view, Publishers can post, The authors on up can reply

Forum C: Publishers on up can view, Administrators can post, The publishers on up can reply

I've had other forums in the past that had permissions that could be set up like that with all their special groups, so I'm a little surprised that I've yet to find any Joomla native forum that can do it, considering Joomla's core itself is sort of based around different permissions doing different things in different places.

Joomla has only static permission system, so it cannot be used..

Your feature is something that we need by ourselves, so we have already planned it. Unfortunately there is only 24 hours a day, so it hasn't been implemented yet.

Hi bakafox, thanks for your suggestion. I also thinks that this could be a huge boost up the popularity over other forum solution. And surely this is a very useful feature to admin a forum.
Hope kunena developer team will find a way to add this features in near future.

We already know how to do this, but we are lacking both time and resources to do everything.

I still believe that we are making good progress. Kunena 1.0.10 was our last legacy release and K1.5.1b is already pretty stable. After that we can focus on the cool stuff.
