Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but using the phpbb3x module (I'll try to switch over to phpbb3x),
I create a new user and assign him the role "phpbbadmin" who have the rights to administer phpbb. However,
when I login with that user I can't see the administrate phpbb-link in phpbb.
Am I misunderstanding something? Do I have to set that user as a phpbb-admin by using the super-phpbb user?
If that's the case, whats the purpose with "administer phpbb"?

Again, thanks for your help, your module is great!

I need to review the idea of the phpbb admin. Initially it was someone that could change connection parameters etc, I don't think it has a function any longer.

What you should do is give the user whatever rights (s)he should have in phpBB, then log in as the phpBB superuser (through phpbb/bypass) and then make the user a "founder". Alternatively create a new user group in phpBB.
