Semi-admin

Our club has about 8 officers.  While I do not want to grant all of the board members full admin rights it would be nice to allow them to add notfications, add events to the calendar and other similar security rights.  Perhaps another group along the lines of "super moderator" or similar with assignable rights?

The software does have Forum Managers and User Managers group that can take care of that. Each will only have limited access to the AdminCP.

Thanks Sam, I will check those groups out.

Had a chance to play with these two groups.  Close, but not what I was looking for.  Both of these groups grant access to particular flyouts on the admin menu but both are ones I would not want these people to have.
 
I am looking for a user group that has access only to News Announcements (main priority), Gallery Options (second priority) and Calendar Options (nice but not required).  I would expect these three areas would be something that a high level moderator/forum officer/events coordinator/whatever would need access to before they would need access to make changes to the forums, prune messages, mess with user settings, etc.
 
Where are the rights for the forum manager and user manager groups kept?  Perhaps I can cobble something together for now to allow access to what I am wanting...and I will leave my original enhancement suggestion on the table...selectable admin rights within groups.

I have noted down your suggestion for the next major version. The admin rights are not stored anywhere -> by being admins they are automatically granted all rights on the front end and respective backend sections.
 
However, there is a sort of hack you can use:
On ~/App_Templates/Theme_Name/Regular.master.vb, put

        If MemberInfo.isAdmin AndAlso Not MemberInfo.isBMan Then
            MemberInfo.isFMan = False
            MemberInfo.isUMan = False
        End If

at the beginning of Page_Init handler, and then in function MenuSetup(), change

            If Not MemberInfo.isAdmin Then
                ForumMenu.FindItemByValue("admincp").Visible = False
            End If

to

            If Not MemberInfo.isBMan Then
                ForumMenu.FindItemByValue("admincp").Visible = False
            End If

 
And then, in ~/App_templates/Admin/inside.master.vb, put

        If MemberInfo.isAdmin AndAlso Not MemberInfo.isBMan Then
            MemberInfo.isFMan = False
            MemberInfo.isUMan = False
        End If

at the beginning of Page_Init handler.

Thanks Sam.  I'll see what I can do with your suggestions while waiting on the next version, hopefully you will implement some method for non-admins to add news announcements and similar, much like you have with the user manager group and the forum manager group.
