how to set tags so only the owner can add tags?
Using Jamroom
Perrie- what about checking the "Tag Own items Only" checkbox?- wouldn't that enforce what you want, in that members could only tag their own items?

Migration from Ning: a few questions
Ning To Jamroom
Here is my own experience as a Jamroom customer for the past 18 months, having come from Ning myself:
1) Groups- yes groups can have their own forum with discussion added, each group also has its own general Comment Wall, and can have Group Pages for giving out various info as well. You can also make any particular Group private, so that the group contents is only visible to members of the Group (those approved for membership to that private group). Here is one Group on my music site for example:
http://fotmd.com/strumelia/group/19/old-style-drone-noter-players
(Your own site will be set up top look the way YOU want it to of course)
2) Since Jamroom creates and provides its own modules/skins and Core, updates are compatible with your JR site. If there's a problem with an update, the JR Team usually fixes it very quickly. Updates are not installed automatically whether or not you are on JR hosting or your own hosting- you get notices advising you that there is a new Core, skin, module update- and usually it tells you what the new update adds or fixes, and you can decide to click the Update button (recommended). All JR customers get free updates for the Core and modules they purchased or are using whether they are on JR hosting or their own hosting. If you choose JR hosting you get all current and future JR modules and skins for free. Plus VIP ticket personalized tech support. JR servers are maintained for you and are compatible with Jamroom requirements. I can vouch that their hosting is speedy and very reliable.
Some people have been having compatibility issues because they are still using the now quite OLD version 4 of Jamroom and are trying to implement new stuff that is meant for the newer Jamroom v.5. You may be reading a few of those discussions. Other 'incompatibility' disciussions may simply be because some module update is in conflict with a custom code that a customer put into place on their particular site, so they're asking how to make the right adjustments to fix it. People customize their sites a whole lot, since they OWN their Jamroom sites! (not like Ning). The good news is that help on Jamroom is fantastic and super fast. The Jamroom Team themselves respond to most all help requests on this forum, and even more intensely when you use JR Hosting which INCLUDES extra VIP Support.
3) Friends: I told my ning members before we migrated to Jamroom that if they wanted to recreate their Friend list on the new JR site, they should make a list of their Ning Friend list, and then work with that after migration. In JR, it's called "Following" rather than "Friending"... so you go to a member's Profile Page, and in top corner you click on "Follow"- then the other person has to do the same and "Follow" you as well. At that point when you begin typing a private message, their name will pop up on a drop down list of people you can send private notes to.
Leaving comments on other people's profile page Comment Walls is usually open for any member to do- though a member can adjust their own notifications and settings to allow various things or not. Private messages will not migrate from ning to JR because they are just that- private. Also member passwords (thus they;ll be assigned a new temp password to log into the new site fro the first time). So, your members should be also told to save any important private messages fromtheir Inbox that they want to keep- they will not migrate since they won't even be in the ning archive at all.
Hope this helps a bit.

Admin 2 Login in as user
Suggestions
What's wrong with just logging in as a test user- a profile that is created for that purpose (to see what a non-admin user might be experiencing). If the purpose is to adjust a member's settings or manipulate their content, well, admins can do that anyway without logging in 'as' them.
Adding Iframe capability to blog and forum editor form
Design and Skin Customization
Try this:
In your System Core module, under the Quota Config TAB....
add the word: iframe ...to the list of "allowed html tags"... for the quotas you want to allow it for.
-See the top drop-down list of your various quotas, for which you can allow/disallow certain text permissions as you choose for different quotas. Obviously you may want to allow admins to have more html options than regular members. For example, I don't allow regular members to use H1 titles, or 'form' in their posts.

Group Comments - Add Images?
Using Jamroom
My members love it when they see familiar stuff and don't need to ask 'how to' do something, so I LIKE the editor showing all the options- means way less work for me answering questions. And that's a beautiful thing.
Group Comments - Add Images?
Using Jamroom
For what it's worth, I added ".tif" image files to the list of image files allowed in the comments attachments.

Micheal, thank you so much for looking into this in depth as you are doing. It's much appreciated!
Is there a module for adding a live chat feature to my JR site?
Ning To Jamroom
To add to what Gary said- some of us are using CometChat on our JR sites. There's a JR compatible module/version. But before you invest in buying CometChat you should check with the JR Team to get an idea of when the new JR Chat might be coming out. And maybe if it'll be a while and you dont want to wait, you could just get the most basic version of Comet in the meantime, rather than getting their more expensive levels. Just some thoughts.
Cometchat does seem to need some initial minor glitch tweaking in my experience, but their support people did all that for me via CC support tickets, and I haven't had a chat problem since then.
I can't wait to see what the Jamroom fellows come up with for chat! ...a little birdy told me it will be able to utilize the smiley from our own JR Smiley Module...which will be terrific in my view- add all the custom smileys you want, yourself!
TinyMCE inserting line breaks into some list items
Jamroom Developers
Not sure if this is releated, but I've always gotten a couple of extra line breaks inserted in my forum posts, between the typed post itself and any Signature. The extra lines have not been typed in, the space/breaks do not appear in the post code, but it always comes out like this:
