I know there has been a lot of talk and holler for an easier way to set default profile permissions into particular forums for large groups of people. UBBThreads does this, but UBBClassic has a different architecture which makes doing this largely impractical/impossible.

However, UBBClassic does allow Administrators to set individual profile permissions in the CP framework.

My question, is it possible that whenever a player is prompted to enter a Forum Password for entrance, upon entering the correct password, that person's profile permissions will be automatically set (as if the Admin had done it manually)? This would come as a windfall for UBB owners that have to painstakingly adjust profile permissions one-by-one for scores (hundreds) of members and/or forums and is *perhaps* a relatively easy workaround???

Of course, anyone knowing the Forum Password will be able to gain entrance, but that's the same as it is now, and it doesn't make sense to have to enter the Forum Password every login session. Furthermore, if a forum to be restricted to certain Usernames, then a Forum Password will not be used anyways and the CP can still do adjust permissions the old-fashioned way.
