 Feature I'm suggesting is something like TAT's (Topic Auto Tools) possibility to choose where (in which forums) they can be used. For MAT (Member Auto Tools), I'm suggesting, which group can use which tools. Something like Forum Access list. For Example:

Member Auto Tools Access
MAT NameAdminSupport AdminModeratorSupport Team
Remove AvatarCanCanCanCan
Remove SignatureCanCanCanCan
ModQueueCanCanCanCannot
Remove PM RightsCanCanCannotCannot
Move to AdminCanCannotCannotCannot
Move to MembersCanCanCannotCannot


Oki, reasons.

Avatar can be removed even while Editing Member's account (Edit Profile option), so more or less that MAT is a waste, if it's alone. But MAT are made to combine few moderator things at once, so no problem with that.

Signature only can be edited in ACP, we wish sooner or later it will be accessible also outside of ACP. For now we can remove it by that MAT.

ModQueue. Why I didn't gave permission to use this by Support Team? I want remind, that's only an example used to show differences between different Super Moderator classes (so Nicola or Jonathan, don't be mad).
          Anyway, since now we haven't Mod CP, so now we haven't gatered all topics/post to approve in one place. Also posts that must be approved doesn't bump topic. What doeas that means? Staff only will be able to approve posts, if they're go to given forum and they will see, if something must be approved or not. If I'm using Active Topics, I'll almost never aware, if something need my help or not. Only I'll be aware, if someone will post a message after post that need to be approved. That's why I would restrict possibility to use that. If only would possible to Can place members on Moderator Authorization via warn system set to No (so all Super Moderators will not have that possibility) but also give that possibility to certain groups (so, for example all except for one my SMod groups cannot put to ModQueue).

Remove PM Rights. That's a Administration feature, so it should be very restricted. If a Member will lost it, he/she only can make new account to protect his/her rights. If he/she will try post new topic about situation, it can be easy deleted. But from other side, better for Admins is, if they don't need to go to ACP to make some administrative functions. But only if that would be available to Admins..

And Most Important Thing I want to say:

Move to *insert usergroup here* Zeta Boards (I wish for now) hasn't possibility to promote users from one group to another, when they will reach X posts. At least I didn't find it and I really need it.
          It's possible to move user from one group to another. Only ROOT Admins can create a MAT that will allow to promote to ROOT group. Other Admins cannot do that. But what about moving to other groups?
          Because there is no Promotion option, I must promote each user manually. And there is beginning of the stairs. Move user to group can demote from Staff position. Of course that will not affect Staff, which have Can be warned? disabled. But that means, even SMods must have that option disabled. For now (like I said even early in another of my topic) Moderators can edit Admins account. I think that should be changed as soon as possible. Single SMod can warn another SMod, so because of that option SMod can be demoted by another SMod.
          Like I said, that only applies to that SMod groups that can be warned. We can prevent that by disabling Can be warned?. But If we will do that, we cannot Ban member for an amount of time, unless we go to ACP.

In other Words, we risk demote half of our Staff or give "cannot be banned" status.

That's why I suggested that "like a forum access" feature. Admins will be able to use most of those features without any risk from other Staff.

I know that You don't like feedbacks from me, but I wish something will be changed because of it. Thank You for reading that ~

 I'm happy that You like my idea but did You have any suggestions or something? I know, I made a bunch of characters that are hard to read and most of users will ignore it (if it would be a JS code, some Members would read it to the end but because it hasn't any scripts...).

 Zetaboards does have promote-at-x-posts. Go to ACP -> Groups -> (Click the group you want to edit) -> very bottom of the page -> Promote to: group
When a member reaches: x posts

Which group is that image from? If it's your Admin group, that would be the reason that it's not there...

 Nope. That's my default Members group. On that board I'm not an owner.

 Others, You mean rest Admins of other boards? I didn't knew that. Well, still I said about Promotion only as an addition to my feature request.

 Bump to ask Staff, if I should drop that case and forget about it or if I can have hope that someday AutoTools Permission Set feature will be added?

Mine! Or I will help you not.

 Well you should certainly stop bumping. I'm going to subtract these bumps from your post count.

Just because we haven't responded, doesn't mean we haven't seen it. I personally don't have an opinion formed at the moment, but the bumps are not helping. :-/
