I can't find, in the ACP, where to grant permissions for search engine bots. Can someone point me in the direction, please? (v.3.3.0)

Click here to download a great hook for board administrators. It allows the staff (of your choice) to send PMs to a given user group, while preventing members of that same group from sending PMs to members of other user groups on your site. I requested this for this hook to be made, to prevent New Members from sending PMs (Read: SPAM) to my active, seasoned members. Thanks to the coder who authored it, PeterUK!

No one knows where the setting is to force search engine bots to use a certain permission set? I know it is in the ACP. I just do not know where, exactly. Please help me sort this.

No. The setting I am talking about is one where you can set the bots to have the same access as a given group on your forum. So, they can be guests, or have a higher access, if you so desire. They can also be forced to "view" a certain skin.
I am still unable to find these settings. Do they still exist in v3.0?

That was perhaps a setting in either very old versions of IPB, where the bots could be served the lo-fi skin. Or more recently it was a setting for CommunitySEO. Did you use CSEO?
I wouldn't give the bots anymore permissions than guests, nor less. I'd not serve a different skin to bots either.
What are you trying to do, it's possible you could do what you want, in some other way.

Okay. Thanks, guys.
I just noticed that one of the bots was showing up on a hidden forum. It wasn't a media or an adsense bot. So, I wanted to make sure they could not crawl the hidden forums on my site.
The bot was proximic.
Oh, I have always set bot permissions as the same as guests.
Thanks for your input.
