In the NodeBB Admin Control Panel, managing category permissions is done on a per-category basis. While copying permissions from one category to others is possible, there is no direct way to select multiple disparate categories from the category list and apply the same specific permission changes (e.g., changing a read/write permission for a particular user group, or modifying advanced settings) to all of them simultaneously. The current process for applying a single permission change across many different categories is repetitive and time-consuming.
Proposed Feature: In the Admin Control Panel's category list/permissions section, add checkboxes next to each category. Allow administrators to select multiple categories and then present an option (e.g., a button like "Edit Permissions for Selected Categories") that opens a permission editing interface. Any changes made in this interface would be applied to all the selected categories upon saving.
Benefits: This feature would drastically improve the efficiency of managing permissions for numerous categories. It would allow administrators to quickly and consistently apply common permission updates or modifications across large groups of categories in a single operation, rather than navigating to each category's settings individually.
This would be a significant usability enhancement for forum administrators.
Thank you.
