So, I was thinking of creating three groups today - admins, active posters without access to all forums, and active posters with access to all forums.

Thing is, you have to designate someone as a "moderator" for the group. If that's the case, we need a permanent admin ID, so that it doesn't have to be switched every time a new admin gets voted in.

Should we make a "Group Management Admin" ID? Or start up a thread in the business forum explaining why we need one and see if it's ok that we create one?

The only thing it would be used for is to actually create the groups - then we could literally forget all about it.

Just would be easier to give permissions to everyone all at once when creating a new forum, rather than one at a time.

Just wanted to let you know that I've seen this Estel and will reply when my brain is working properly.

I spent about 4 hours in the Dallas Art Museum and my mind just isn't wanting to focus after 4 hours of focusing! :tired:

I'm sure the ID should be OK - it will make our lives and the lives of new Admin easier.

So, I'd say yes, we do it - after running it past the others, of course! Password can go in the sensitive info forum and all.

Yes from me too, to the "Group Management Admin" ID. I'd say we go ahead and present it as a fait accompli, otherwise we'll get bogged down in endless discussions. ;) And if anyone has anything to object, they can speak up. Which I think is an effective way of conducting business... :D

Alright - I'll create it, and the groups sometime today or tomorrow :)

Thanks for the approval guys :hug: I don't like the idea of making decisions like this without at least checking with all of you, if not the whole board.
