Programmatically add user forum permissions in Drupal

Question

I'd like to programmatically add user forum permissions in Drupal.

Do I have to use ACL module? Is there any example out there, as the documentation is a bit thin?

Do you mean, you want to restrict, or set CRUD access on a per-forum basis? — berkes, Oct 27 '10 at 19:35

The Rules module will work as well. With the rules module (but not with ACL) you have the option of setting triggers for this to occur.

There is no option in Rules for adjusting forum permissions. Is there? – Kay Pale Oct 29 '10 at 10:04

What do you mean by programmatically, exactly?

You can define new permissions using hook_perm:

But the forum module(s) for Drupal should ship with role based permissions to use.

They should but they don't :) – Kay Pale Oct 29 '10 at 10:05
There isn't a 'create forum topic' under node or forum permissions? – Kevin Oct 29 '10 at 12:57
