Advanced access control

The site administrator can define which part of the forum system is open for viewing and for posting by anonymous users, and which require a registered user login information.
For example, using the extended access control feature, the forum administrator can decide that anonymous users can view all forum sections, but not post anything, or that they can only post questions and comments, but not answers.
The extension also lets you choose which users can view and post questions, answers and comments:

  • Everyone- including anonymous users
  • logged in users only
  • site roles only, such as the site admin or editor
