Topic: Extended forum access function with groups

Ok, I've an idea about a basic group function for 1.2. This is how it would work:

First, a group admin page will be created to manage all the groups, here you can add, delete, edit groups and their permissions for each forum. The other thing to is to add members to the groups. I thought that it would be possible to do this like the EFAM mod (from users profile). I don't have any smart solution to add many users to a group simple though, maybe if you list users and mark the users that should be added to a group?

Any suggestions?

I have the time and skill to write this function so don't worry about that ;)

Yes, that was basically what I was thinking too. The problem with doing it as a mod is that more or less every script will need updated permissions checks. The current user status property will have to be removed/changed as well. There's a lot of work involved :)
