"Special Assistant" status rather than Moderator?

Note: ?What follows has also been posted to Group_Help because there seem to be different "circles of participation" inhabiting each group.

I have offered my services to the owner of another group to help him to clean up the online archive by merging back together a lot of topics that have been accidentally split over time.

The only way I know of for that to be possible is to be made a moderator, but I do not wish to be a "full moderator" in terms of actual duties, so there would be no need for that role to be granted if there is a way to grant someone ability to handle specific moderation tasks without having access to others.

Is there a mechanism that would allow this under Groups.io? ?It may even be some sort of restricted moderator setup, but I have no idea if such exists or if individual moderator functions can be enabled/disabled by the group owner for someone who is a moderator.

Brian,

The only way I know of for that to be possible is to be made a
moderator, but I do not wish to be a "full moderator" in terms of
actual duties, so there would be no need for that role to be granted
if there is a way to grant someone ability to handle specific
moderation tasks without having access to others.
The group management could change your role to moderator, but grant you only the permission to "Edit Archives". There are 13 checkboxes for individual permissions a moderator may have:

|_| Approve Pending Messages
|_| Edit Archives
|_| Approve Pending Members
|_| Invite Members
|_| Remove Members
|_| Ban Members
|_| Set Member Subscription Options (also allows access to the member list)
|_| Create/Delete HashTags
|_| Manage Subgroups
|_| Add or Modify Integrations
|_| Set Moderator Privileges
|_| Modify Group Settings
|_| Billing

Any moderator with Set Moderator Privileges permission, or any owner, can see that list and edit it for other moderators.
