Help: Guild website permissions setup and usage
Updated on 2007/12/10

Guild Permissions (aka roles) is the way to enforce access to various administrative area of the guild.

A guild has the following 5 default levels:
  • Member (allows event creation)
  • Trusted (allows news posting, but not news management)
  • Manager (allows management of points, events, bank, forum, info pages, news, file, and gallery areas, and may view petitions)
  • Deputy (has all the privileges of manager but with user management, layout manager and guild detail settings privs)
  • Founder (all the privileges possible)

An additional 5 levels may be defined for a total of 10 levels.

With the exception of the Member, and Founder permissions, all the Permissions may be edited (i.e. grant additional privileges) as you see fit, or even deleted. The Permission's name may also be changed as well.

The Member permission only allows the news posting, and event creation privileges to be set. The Founder permission has all privileges set and only the guild creator has this Permission, no other users.

Website accounts are assign to a particular level when approving petitions, or later by editing the member's settings through the Guild User page.

Visit the Guild Permissions page to find out all the possible privileges. You can reach this from the Administration Page by clicking on the Guild Permissions link. (e.x. http://myguild.epicmount.com/admin/perms)

For the moment, users who become members through the express registration mechanism will be assigned to the Member Permission for normal users, and Manager for officer express code registration. In the future, you will be able to select which Permission for the user and officer express registration.
