I am needing 2 things that have to do with groups…
1) I want to disable normal users from creating them.
2) I want to be able to create a user role that has moderator access to all groups.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

I found this for the disable normal users for creating (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/group-administration/?topic_page=3&num=15) but would love to see anything that didn’t require changing the theme….

Also a concept on the 2nd point. I think if I could find were the logic to allow super admins to be a group admin and add logic to allow people in certain roles to do them as well… but I’m not sure were that would be..

Choice for either allowing all members or the admin only to create groups is in BP 1.5 beta 2

== I want to be able to create a user role that has moderator access to all groups.==
A global forum moderator role is not available in the current version of the BuddyPress forum integration at this time.

thanks mercime… any idea where I could hijack the code that determines if someone is a moderator?

You’d probably want to hijack the $bp global when a group page is displayed.

If you’re using BP 1.2.x, look particularly at `$bp->is_item_mod` in /buddypress/bp-groups.php
