Administrative rights needed to run forum?

January 2017 in Questions

I run a forum on my WP site. One of the Disqus settings is for "Administrative rights". Do I need to turn this on in order to moderate my user's comments, etc? Or can I leave it unchecked? Not sure exactly what it is used for.... thanks for any enlightenment you can share.

Hi Robert,

sorry we are not the creators of Disqus and we cannot help you with this issue.

But the settings I am asking about are on your site - not their site. But since you have no knowledge of these settings, can you at minimum point me to the Disqus Pages where you got your info to integrate their platform into your plugin? Then I might be able to find an answer to these settings on your site, there. Thanks for anything you can do....

Hi Robert,

sorry I misread your first post. No, you do not need to enable any of these options:

Publish Actions - Permission to post comments on behalf of the user Administrative Rights - Full rights to post comments, moderate forums and view details about commenters

They are only needed to you want to publish content or moderate posts on behalf of the user via the Disqus API.
