1260.0. "set_moderator funtion" by KERNEL::OTHENJ () Tue Aug 18 1992 13:54

hello,

	ALL-IN-1 v2.4

	Can someone help me with the NOTES SET_MODERATOR function?

	The customer has created a conference within GPC, and now wishes to 
update the conference by using MC. When he chooses that option, it comes up 
with the error

You are not the moderator of the conference.

	The customer is on a cluster, and if he looks on the conference 
profile, he sees himself as the moderator using the cluster alias name. 
#OAN$USER_NODE is alos set up as the cluster alias when he enters GPC as 
sys$cluster_node is defined. The ALL-IN-1 username is the same as the VMS 
user name.

	What else does the set_moderator flag check to come up with error?

		Thanks for any help,

			Julie

    Hello,
    
    	Since entering the note, the customer now admits that he was using
    the ALL-IN-1 manager account, so the ALL-IN-1 and VMS account ARE
    different. The customer gets the error
    
    You are not the moderator of the conference
    
    when he enters MCP to restrict membership to Y. I am still confused
    though, as I have found various articles which suggests that there are
    problems with some moderator functions, but it should work if
    set_moderator is used. I have tried it out on our system using ALL-IN-1
    V2.4 patched up to K605, and I cannot get it to fail.
    
    	Does anyone know if this is an option that should fail, and if so
    when is it fixed? I cannot find any reference to this in the release
    notes for the patches, but I cannot get it to fail.
    
    	The customer has no patches on his system.
    
    
    	Thanks
    			Julie

    There are many, many notes about how problems with GPC validation of
    moderator (and other) privileges which were in V2.4.  These have now
    been addressed in V3.0.
    
    Most of the problems lie with cluster alias versus node names etc etc
    etc.  Read the notes here and then see if the problem is indeed due to
    the cluster name getting in the way of the node name or vice versa.
    Then we'll see whether it's a different problem or not.
