Admin issues

[mattjkester]

I added another admin on my forum and when that person logs in, they can only see three of the options on the left hand side and I can see everything when logged in as myself. I added him as an admin, is there something I'm missing?

You need to set the appropriate permissions:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions

You may need to make yourself a Super Admin in order to do this. Edit this section of config.php:

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = 'x';

...and replace x with your userid (not user name.)

Ok, it didn't require me to be a super administrator which is good, worked perfectly, thanks for the quick response

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit administrator permissions.

If you think you should have permission to access this page, you will need to edit the $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] variable in the includes/config.php file.

To allow the administrators to access this page, edit the variable to include the user IDs of those administrators should have access, separating each user ID with a comma, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,25,57';

To allow only a single administrator to access this page, simply add that user's ID with no commas, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

this is the message I am getting while logged in as Administrator,

when trying to acess


Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions


how come administrator isnt allready a super moderator in that sense??
I allready (as administrator) can access ALL of the control panel and all the fine settings that are available...

(thanks in advance for the answer...)
