Topic: Read board permission

When a group does not have 'Read board' permission, then the User list link, Search link, and Quickjump menu should not be displayed even if these settings are enabled.

Re: Read board permission

Thank you!

Question: For non-guest groups (Members, etc.), should Profile link, New posts link, Mark all topics as read link, and any other links (that Paul will be adding to the index page) be hidden too?

Thanks.

Re: Read board permission

Question. What is the point of allowing somebody to register if they are not going to be allowed to read the board or do anything useful?

For manual admin approval.

Re: Read board permission

How about disabling the Rules link in header when read board permission is off and 'Allow registrations' is off?

Re: Read board permission

Rules are still allowed to be seen by Guests under those circumstances though. The question is whether we should rethink that.

Re: Read board permission

We have a private board. We generate the accounts. Therefore, we don't want Rules to be available if the user is not logged in.

Hmm, fair enough: changed.
