How to achieve this functionality? - User Groups/Groups/Medals

evanhenry

Let's say I have member1, member2 and Member3.

I want member1 to be able to access forum1 only, member2 should be able to access only forum1 and forum2. Similarly, member3 should be able to access forum1, forum2 and forum3.

I want to assign member1, member2 and member3 different icons so it's easy to differentiate them.

So, if a member has a level3, it means he has the max rights to access all the forums.

I see, there are groups and medals option in Discuz but I am not sure what to use and how to configure this on my website.

What is the difference between User Groups below Users section, separate Groups section and Medals in the admin page?

What is the best way to enable this functionality on my website?

First of all some words about a terminology.

1) Medals - it is just an Icon Set.
Any medal can be granted to any user.
Medal icon just shown at the user profile.
Just for beauty
Some Medal owners can have different access to some forums.

2) User Groups - it is a set of different user categories, like User Roles.
You can create custom user groups.
You can set different permissions for every user group in every forum section.
I.e. enable some groups to access to some forums and disable to others.
It is a main mechanism to separate access to different forums.

I will show a screenshot later...

3) Groups - it is custom user communities (like interest clubs).
Groups looks like forums but can be created by users.
Group moderators can set different access permissions to their groups.
