Hi All,
This is a weird one. I've been trying to figure it out with no success. On my site users are able to edit other users posts in the forums. Clicking on a forum topic provides an edit tab that allows changing it. It appears to me permissions are set properly: forum administration is set only for administrator and node administration is set the same. Can any one give me a start as to how to trouble shoot this? I've been looking at the code and I can't quite figure out what module/function the 'edit' tab comes from. Maybe if I could find that I could figure out where the problem is coming from. Thanks for your help. Wasn't sure which forum to post this in. Sorry if I guessed wrong.

node module | administer node gives this right to roles it is activated for.

This is set correctly, I think.
Admin->access control-> node module->administer node is checked for administrator and not for anonymous user and authenticated user. Yet I still see the edit tab. Do I misunderstand your message?

i have the same problem!
As admin, whatever I post on forum people can edit only my posts! They can't edit other forum members' posts, but the weird thing is they can edit mine! This is frustrating as I have to stop the site to prevent vandalism on my site! Is there any fix to this? Permissions is NOT hte problem as far as I know. This works for the most part, but as admin on the site, it seems to be reversed as admins are supposed to edit everyone's posts but now everyone can edit admins' posts!!!
I'm on drupal 6.10. Please help!
sorry, I just found out that
sorry, I just found out that the Forum Access module is causing the problem.
