I'm struggling in getting access right for members with the "pre-authenticated user" role I give to every new user that registers to an account (via LoginToboggan). Once an administrator approves the new account, then the user leaves the "pre-authenticated user" role and receives the "authenticated user" role.

The problem I have is that no matter how I configure the Forum Access and Content Access permissions, the "pre-authenticated user" role can never post to a forum, even if I set this forum accessible via Forum Access.

Is it possible that Forum Access and LoginToboggan are currently not fully integrated?

They're not integrated at all, but I don't see in what way they would need to be integrated.

Did you give the create forum topics permission to your "pre-authenticated user" role?

My bad - I just saw that the "access comments" permission was not set for the "pre-authenticated user" profile. Enabling this privilege now allows the participant to post in the forum.

This means that the following privileges are minimally required to be able to post to a forum when the 3 aforementioned modules work together:

  • Comment module: access comments, post comments (optional: post comments without approval)
  • Forum module: create forum topics (optional: edit own forum topics, delete own forum topics)
  • Node module: access content

Hope this helps!
