(This was going to be a PM, but then I decided there might be others who wanted an answer to this as well, so it ended up being a forum post. Feel free to delete this and answer via PM, Myr, if you don't want it cluttering up this forum).

 

One quick question: What's the difference between all the groups? OK, so some are functional (Moderators, Administrator), but what about the rest?

 

The groups are:

 

Site Administrator

Administrator

Moderator/Author

Hosted Author

Published Author

Advanced Author

Editor

Author

Newbie Author

Members

Newbies

Validating
