"url": "http://myurl.com",
"secret": "..................",
"database": "redis",
"redis": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "6379",

There are not hierarchical permissions in NodeBB. If you would like to see hierarchical permissions, you could open an issue on our Github page and request such a feature.
I do believe we have a way of copying permissions between groups, so that could help you out in doing what you want.
