Your name: W4zuki
Suggestion headline: Grant group owners controlled access to manage their group content, including creating private sections, editing titles and descriptions, and handling other basic needs.
Forum/Main Website: Forum
Why should we accept this: Currently, even though I'm a group owner, I do not have permission to create or manage forum sections related to my own group. These permissions are limited only to Administrators.
My question is simple:
Why can't group owners manage their own sections, and why is this responsibility entirely placed on Senior Admins?
As group owners, we are already trusted with leadership, internal management and mod of our groups. Managing our own forum sections as creating or updating them is a logical extension of that responsibility and would:

• Reduce unnecessary workload on Senior Admins
• Improve efficiency and response time.
• Allow group owners to maintain their group related content.
• Keep sections up to date without needing to request admin intervention every time.

I’m not suggesting full administrative powers, but limited, controlled access specifically for:
• Creating sections related to the group
• Managing those sections (titles, descriptions and basic needs)
But this would make group ownership more practical, while still keeping overall control in the hands of higher administration.

Thanks for consideration!

I completely agree with this suggestion.
The points mentioned are valid and logical, and giving group owners limited control over their own forum sections makes sense. Group owners are already trusted with leadership and internal management, so allowing them to manage basic forum needs related to their groups would improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary workload on Senior Admins,
I fully support this idea.

The main point here is that contacting them should no longer be necessary, while group owners having full overall control.

If I remember correctly, for a forum developer to edit any section in the forums, they need to enter the Administration Control Panel. I believe not all even game administrators can access that board , only the seniors are allowed.

also it will make forums lagging if not managed well and if got the permission

correct me if I'm wrong.
OK, you are wrong.

It would require making separate ranks for each and every group, and setting permissions to those ranks, but it could be done. Pagati has nearly full control over our forum section, so I see no reason it can't be done, other than the amount of effort it would take.

Like you said it requires more work but Pagati/Swat/Army is official so not a big deal.

I know it can be done because i have done it as forum developer. If you say so, then this suggestion is possible (for Trusted) but risky (if not using the permission well).

This is unnecessary and could probably break the forum. Contact me if you need your forum managed
