If stuck, check the documentation. If you're still stuck, the chat button in the footer opens up your support options on the page you're at. You should actually read the documentation anyway as you will find it an enormous help – we have provided general advice on running websites as well as ocPortal-specific advice.

It's important to understand the structure of your website: ocPortal actually goes to incredible lengths to make sure that all your data is meticulously organised so that permissions can be assigned in an easy and logical way (and of course so that your website isn't a muddle to navigate). You can see the complete structure of your website using the ‘Site Tree Editor’ from the ‘Structure’ section.

If you are a Windows users, you might consider ditching Internet Explorer and use an alternative but equally free browser, <a href="http://opera.com">Opera</a> or <a href="http://getfirefox.com/">Mozilla Firefox</a>. Not only are these browsers better at rendering pages, but by switching you help break the monopoly Microsoft have constructed with IE – for years IE has stagnated, and developers such as ocProducts can attest to the inordinate number of development problems that occur due to Microsoft's neglect. It limits progress in a real way.

A forum community can make a website come alive – it can also make a website lose its controlled, professional feel. This is just one example demonstrating why you need to give thought to which ocPortal features you want to use, and how to use them.

A common need is to give people access by default, but to be able to take away access on abuse. To do this, you could switch a user's usergroup to one with less privileges, but this requires maintaining of full permission sets for multiple usergroups. If you are using OCF, a better technique is to define a new ‘default usergroup’ that only has permissions for the abusable feature – new users will be put into that usergroup as well as the main usergroup which has wider permissions. To remove a user after their abuse, just remove them from the new ‘default usergroup’.

ocPortal can cater for websites large and small – as your site grows, stop trying to set permissions by editing things, and start using the ‘Permission tree editor’ – it'll save you a lot of time when making batch changes as well as allowing you to see a complete view of your permissions!
