Access privileges

XenForo provides a powerful and flexible permissions system that allows you to control what your users can see and do on your forum.

This section covers user groups, permissions, promotions, and staff management.

📄️ Group permissions

User groups are XenForo's primary method of assigning roles to the users of your forum. This allows you to assign permissions, titles and other customizations to users.

📄️ How permissions are applied

There are multiple permission sets that come together to define a user's final set of permissions. Under the Groups & permissions section, these include:

🗃️ Promotions

2 items

📄️ Staff

In XenForo, there are two types of staff members, moderators and administrators. These are entirely distinct roles in terms of the permissions granted. Making a user an administrator does not make them a moderator; these roles need to be assigned separately.
