Permissions problem
On my website , I have given the authorized user profile just basic rights such as posting to a forum. However, a simple authorized user has the ability to edit anyone's posts. I went back in to look at permissions and they all look correct. Places I've looked:
User Management - Permissions
Content Management - Content Type - Edit Forum Topic
Any clues are appreciated.

Forum Confusion
Hi Ralph. I've had wacky forum permissions problems before too. Have you tried rebuilding your site's permissions at http://yourdomain.com/?q=admin/content/node-settings/rebuild ?

Node permissions on individual nodes
Hey Ralph,
Ah the returning permission issue. I remember you have the node permissions by role module added. This might be the problem:
Even if yoe reconfigure the default permissions at the node/content type level it WILL NOT change the permissions for the EXISTING node of that type.
You will probably have to go into each of those nodes individually (the forum posts) and change the permissions for that node (i.e. not allow authenticated users to edit the node). The node AUTHOR will (should) still be able to edit the node.
See if that works.
On the right track
Demian,
Good tip. I'm on the right track. It's still a bit weird though. There must be a forum post in order for me to change the permissions. If no forum post, I don't see any place to make the change. But is seems to be working, so I may add a dummy post to each one and then change permissions. I hope it is not post-specific and will change the permissions for the entire individual forum.
Thanks for the information. I'll tell you how it goes.
Yeah test some new postings
Drupal is really good about 'retroactive' changes with many things (content type renaming, etc.) and is generally good with permissions but when you add a module that adds another layer on the permissions structure the hierarchy can be unclear and certain assumptions you might be able to make with the core permissions functionality might not be consistent with how a 'permission focused' module handles things.
Good Luck.
