Allowing Users to Edit Their Own Posts (DNN Core Forum)
For users to be able to edit their own posts in the DotNetNuke forums module
they must be set as a trusted user, regardless if moderation is used within the
particular form. It appears that the "Is Trusted" setting performs two tasks.
First in moderated forums it allows users to post bypassing the moderation.
Secondly it provides users with the "edit" ability for all of their own forum
posts. This is done to stop any potential bypassing of the moderation system
for users editing their posts as that would fall outside of the current
moderation system.
If you have a forums module that only has un-moderated forums and desire to
allow all users to edit their own posts you can run the following script to
trust all users. NOTE: If you have moderated forums you will NOT want to run
this as it would allow all users to post in the moderated forums without
moderator approval.
UPDATE forum_users
SET IsTrusted = 1
