Moderators

[julianlam]

... because you people keep asking for it! 👿

---

• Refactor backend to use user groups
• Front end admin panel integration
• isModerator check to categoryTools.privileges and threadTools.privileges

@akhoury This is a breaking change for the importer.

Moderators will no longer be placed into the cid:{cid}:moderators set, but are instead added to a user group with the name cid:{cid}:moderators. Do not create this group by hand, just call Groups.joinByGroupName. If it doesn't exist, it will be created and automatically become a system group, which it should be.

Changing the group name to be cid:{cid}:privileges:mod

[akhoury]

Acknowledged. Sweet.

[RayBenefield]

Woohoo! Thanks a ton.

You can now assign moderators via the "Access Control" modal in the categories section. Please let me know if you run into any bugs.

this could be an issue.

Whoa... How'd you get this to show up?

I created a single test user, then toggled all options. First Moderator, then Write, then Read and then untoggled them.

Also if I added 'user' to the string in the search field it it adds duplicated of that user.

Content seems to only be appending, not replacing.

Trying to figure out how I can see this new "moderator" button on the category permissions modal. I only show Read and Write, can someone help?

[anthonywebb]

@julianlam is there a secret to enabling category moderators? I only show Read/Write buttons.

[julianlam]

Hey @anthonywebb, sorry about the delay -- what version of NodeBB are you running? Perhaps you have not updated to the latest yet?

git rev-parse HEAD to determine git hash

[julianlam]

Should look a little something like this:

Only for users, not groups.

[anthonywebb]

@julianlam ah, users only, found it. I was using groups. Thanks!
