     to properly support SMTP email in this complex world we've built.
     As well, this design choice means you do not need to do duplicate
     configuration, such as to point Fossil at your server's TLS
     certificate private key in order to support users behind mail
     servers that require STARTTLS encryption.

<h3>Permissions</h3>

Fossil forums use the same role-based access control mechanism as
for normal Fossil repository logins.

this is that you have a public project where very few of those
participating in the forum have special capability bits for project
assets managed by Fossil, so you wish to segregate the two user sets.

Yet, what of the users who will have logins on both repositories? Some
users will be trusted with access to the project's main Fossil
repository, and these users will probably also participate in the
project's Fossil-hosted forum.

Fossil has a feature to solve this problem that is probably less well
known than it should be, which has been in the software since April of
2011: Admin &rarr; Login-Group, which allows one Fossil repository to
recognize users authorized on another Fossil repository.

More administration-oriented documentation TODO.
