Description
Hi Ray,
I just tried forwarding something to two groups and had the posting rejected, saying I don't have the ability to post to those groups. I am a member of them through my @admin account and post often via email to them. I've attached the error message here. Thanks in advance for looking into this

Hi Matt,
Is this referring to your /members/admin
user account? If so, I just checked your WordPress role for that account and it has the author
role. I think this is correct as this was part of the changes to downgrade certain user accounts in #12103.
However, I do not believe you have experienced this "publish topics" problem until now. Is that correct? I do see in your activity that you have posted new topics by email as recently as a week ago. Not sure if this is related to #15209.
Regardless, I've added a potential fix in bp-reply-by-email here that doesn't use the bbPress participate
capability to grant posting permissions. I'm testing with the more universal exist
WordPress capability.
Matt, can you try posting a new topic by email to see if it is working or not?

Hi Ray. Sorry for the confusion, but this was an attempt to post to a forum group

But, also, I did just try another post by email and it worked here -- https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/ma-in-digital-humanities-cuny-graduate-center/forum/topic/digital-scholarship-librarian-position-swarthmore-college/

The fix was in place when you posted that topic :)
So we should be good to go! I'll commit the fix in a bit.
