On my website's (www.qriverside.net) discussions page, there is a forum module which anyone who has registers can alter!  Basically this is because all permissions are ticked for the Registered Users.

The problem is, that removing the ticks on the permissions grid does not seem to persist anything, and the ticks remain.

I have tried "hacking" in the database directly forum_forumpermissions table, in two ways:

• Deleting everything (all permissions for all users)
• Addin permissions with "AllowAccess" column set to false.

In both cases, the Registered User role still has access to the admin functions.

Anyone have any ideas what to try next?

Thanks Matthias, I'd fixed the problem by removing the toolbar, but that solution is better - it's good to have everything working properly.  In fact I did read the manual but missed that bit.  Perhaps it should be in bold for slack page-scanners like me!

Regards, Max.
