Authorized users can set the moderators for the forums, set member permissions, and set forum variables. If you are setting up your bulletin board for the first time, be sure to follow the detailed instructions on the Official Ultimate Bulletin Board Home Page . Administrators Administrators have total control over every aspect of the bulletin board. They are, in essence, the owners of the board. Thus, administrator status should only be conveyed to trusted individuals.
Most boards have only one owner or administrator.
You may grant administrative power to as many users as you please, however. Moderators Moderators are the ringleaders for each forum. Each forum can have its own moderator, but one person may be a moderator in multiple forums. An administrator may also be a moderator. They cannot change permissions for a particular users, however.
