Group Permissions

The Group Permissions tab providers a restriction center for users depending on their type. To access it, head to Components > RSComments! > Group Permissions, you will be presented with a listing of the custom RSComments! groups.

Clicking on one of the user group types will open up a page that will display the current group restrictions in which you can modify based on your scenario. For example, the Public user group cannot post comments unlike the Registered one.
