I have just come across this bug as well - our scenario is:
- vBulletin 4.1.5pl1 (not latest pl, but as I understand it the issue is not fixed in latest patch level 4.1.6)
- Section hierarchy is: Home > Section1
- Usergroup FooU has 'create content' CMS perms set for Section1
- Usergroup FooU has 'can publish' CMS perms set for Section1
- Usergroup FooU has NO 'create content' CMS perms set for Home
- Usergroup FooU has NO 'can publish' CMS perms set for Home
Result is users in FooU usergroup cannot promote posts to articles from the forum into Section1. I would suggest this is a bug and not a feature, setting an editorial usergroup such as FooU to have editorial control over Section1 should allow that usergroup to promote articles into Section1 from the forum without FooU needing to have full editorial control over the Home parent section.
