Privileges are tied to groups. You can create a category that a certain group would have exclusive access to. They're isn't a way to do this automatically, yet.

Please try dropping all dbs in your new mongo install. Then try the mongorestore process again. See if that works.

Can you describe what steps you took after the clean install to restore your database? It's my guess that restoring over the fresh db from the clean install may be the source of your issues.

How did you install NodeBB on the new server?

It is used by nodebb socket.io dependencies.

@silvanet those registry entries should be overwritten. Do you know what version of node you were using before? Just install that version if you know, otherwise install the latest LTS. Rarely are there any breaking changes that affect actual code.

Your initial header.tpl should work with the latest version of nodebb, app.template is no longer necessary since that is available in ajaxify.data.template

Are there errors when you run ./nodebb build? How about during running of NodeBB?

Please share your header.tpl and nodebb version you are using.

I'd just go to https://nodejs.org, download the installer, and reinstall it.
