# [Plugin: WP Forum Server] User Groups

 * How are User Groups used?
 * I can see how to define Categories and Forums. I can see how to define User Groups
   but I can’t see how to restrict Forums to User Groups.
 * Similarly, I can add Moderators to forums but when I add a reply, the moderator
   doesn’t receive any notification and there doesn’t seem to be a way of holding
   replies for moderation – I can’t seem to stop them from appearing straight on
   the forum which is a non-starter.
 * Am I missing something?

 * I was wondering the same….. What are their purpose, what do they allow you to
   do and not do?
 * Also, shouldn’t the User Groups actually be connected to the WordPress groups?(
   Author’s, Subscribers, etc.)

 * Nevermind…. I’ve figured out how to get it working.
    You have to create some 
   User Groups such as:
 * Admin
    Moderators Subscribers
 * You add members to those groups.
 * You then go to the forum category’s and select which groups are able to use/post
   to those particular forums.
 * So, it looks like it works like it should.
    Although, I need to do more testing
   and see if a new user is made subscriber or whatever, since the groups don’t 
   seem to be connected to the WordPress groups, clearly separate since you have
   to create your own for the forum.
