# Create Topics/Replies

 * Good Evening,
 * I had a question regarding user groups and the permissions they can have. In 
   most forums on my site I want users to be able to create and reply to a forum
   topic, but I do not want them to be able to edit the overall topic or the posts
   of others (I guess they could edit the topic/reply if they created it but that
   may be getting too complicated). However, I currently do not see a way to go 
   about implementing this.
 * When editing group permissions on specific forums, the option “Create/Edit Topics/
   Replies” appears twice. I am unsure if one of these is supposed to be Create 
   Topics/Replies, but I do not see a current way to do what I have described. Any
   help is much appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    JB

 * ‘Create/Edit Topics/Replies’ means create/edit their own topics.
 * They need moderator level to edit others posts.
