 * Hi,
 * I do have a problem with the permissions. As far as I understand: If I give a
   user the permission to edit and delete, they can not only edit and delete their
   own but every message, right? This could cause a lot of mess.
 * Or am I totally wrong with my assumption?

 * That’s correct those permissions work globally so giving a role delete permissions
   allows all users within that role to delete any topic or post.
 * In the next version you will be able to change settings for roles to allow roles
   to only be able to edit, delete, lock, sticky their own topics.
 * Will mark this as resolved but feel free to reply to this topic if you have any
   more questions, problems, suggestions, etc.
 * Thanks
