Description
First off thanks for this module. I like to assing permissions by role with the per node override when needed. Elegant. I'm new to Drupal so probably this is easilt answered. I would like to have two sorts of forums - one where only 'teacher' roles can post and one where 'authenticated' can. I cannot do this and suspect that this is because of the forum type rather than any limitation of this module. Is this so?
Thanks, Peter

All accounttypes is meant to do is make it easy to NOT assign roles to users that shouldn't have them.
What it sounds like you want is organic groups and og_forum. You can then use multiple_mandatory_groups_by_role to assign users with a given role to a particular group. That group's own forum will only be accessible to the members of the group. In your case you would have a group for teachers and that is all. Teachers would have their own forum that regular authenticated users can't use. You would also have a site-wide forum that all authenticated users can post to.
