Board Permissions

Hi,
I would like to make a board read-only except for a specific
individual who should have the right to create posts as well.
How do I do that? I am not quite sure how to do this. I see how
I cam make the board read only, but I am unclear how to give
read-write access to a particular indiviual.

You would need to create a unique membergroup for that one user
to set custom permissions

Here is what I cannot quite figure out:
I created a new membergroup and assigned the user to the
membergroup.I created a board that is read only. Both my regular
members and the new membergroup are allowed groups.
Now how do I assign the membergroup to the board so that the new
membergroup can post, but not the others?

In that case you would need to create a custom permission
profile. Then assign that board a permission profile
Permission profiles are assigned to individual boards to allow
you to easily manage your security settings. From this area you
can create, edit and delete permission profiles.
Under Admin -> Permissions -> Edit Profiles.

I am still hopelessly confused... I have a hard time
understanding the difference between board permissions and group
permissions and profiles.
1. I create 2 membergroup profiles Group 1 and Group 2. I want
both Groups to read and write all Boards except the special
board. Group 1 should be only able to read the special board and
Group 2 should be able to read and write the special board. The
two Groups have the same permissions, but Group 2 has only one
member, the member that should have read/write access to the
special board.
(Question 1: when I create a group, what is the difference
between "inherit from" and "Based off of".Question 2: When I
select "board the membergroup can see", does "see" mean read and
write?
2. So now, I go to the Board itself. What do I selecti as the
Permission profile. I should think it should be Group 2? or read
only? and what do I put as allowed groups Group 1 or Group 2? In
fact I want both Groups to see the board, but only one should
edit it.
I am really confused.

ok, finally figured this out after a lot of trial and error. A
worked out example would have been helpful since the distinction
between board and member permissions and profiles is not
obvious.
