I've assigned two of my members to be moderators. Their sole purpose is member management. I want them to be able to suspend, ban, and add/remove members from an existing user group. I created a test user on my forum and assigned that user moderator permissions to see what they see and there are no member management options on the back-end that I can see when logged in with my mod test user.
I'd like my moderators to be able to suspend, ban, and add/remove members from an existing user group. Can this be done, and if so, how and/or what do I need to do to set these permissions for them?

Forum admin > admins > manage admins. Allow your moderator capabilities to admin sections as needed

Thanks, Yellow. I want my moderators not to be able to suspend, ban, or remove me from the group, however. I am the only administrator. What option do I not select to ensure that they don't do any of these things to me?

If you don't want them changing admins or mods, don't give them manage admins capabilities...

Hello again,
Okay, so I have modified the permissions for my moderators so that they Can Edit Own Posts Forever. I have also uncheck the option for Edit Own Posts Until There Has Been A Reply.
However, my moderators still don't see an Edit button on the top menu of each post.
Is there something I'm missing here? What else do I need to do so that my mods can edit their own posts even after someone replies?

I assume you are changing the permission set that you have applied with the moderator usergroup to the forum? are they members of any other usergroups with permissions on these forums?

The users that are assigned to the Moderator user group are also members of the Members user group. Should I remove them from the Members user group so that they are only members of the Moderator user group? Would this solve the problem?

Assuming the moderators do not need to be in both then I think yes - take them out and see what the result is. Normally, under these circumstances, they would get a mix of both user group permission sets and the best - more open - would win. Perhaps they are being granted both edit permissions so one is cancelling the other.
