Ploneboard manager role to non site manager user

I use Ploneboard inside my plone website. I created a group Forum managers for users that will manage my forum. I think there must be a custom role added to this group and the custom role will have custom forum permissions (Adding Forum, Adding Posts, etc.) added.

How can I give all permissions related to forum to this group members without giving them the global site manager role?

In general terms: if you go to the ZMI (.../manage), and there to the security tab, you will have the possibility of adding a user defined role, at the very bottom.

Once you've done that, you can

  1. give permissions to that role, it will show up as another column in the security tab. (This is vague, since I don't have a PloneBoard here to tell you the exact rights you want to give to them, but it's customary that they'd start with "Ploneboard", this looks like the current list.)

  2. give that role to users or groups of your site in the ordinary overview panel (.../@@usergroup-groupprefs): it appears as another role next to Contributor, Editor et al.

(Disclaimer: This approach might not reflect Plone current best practice. It also doesn't cover how to do it in code.)
