Prevent Admin from deletion?

[Bob_R]

I read here somewhere and I can't find it any longer where someone mentioned that one of the things that you should do to protect your site is to prevent the Admin account from being deleted.

Can someone explain that process to me and/or provide a link to it and I'll read up on it myself?

Thanks.

Edit your ../includes/config.php file.

    //    ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******
    //    The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users.
    //    To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas.
$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = 'X';

X = the user numbers you want to protect.

Add the user number to the section for unalterable users. This means nobody can change or delete the accounts listed in that section of the config.php.

It didn't work when I tried to add another user but the one user that is in there is good enough for now I guess.

I did this for example, I seperated with comma

was = '99';

made it = '99','95'; and it didn't like it. I also tried with a space.

when you enter multiple users, use this format:

$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '1,2,3';

separate them with commas, but no spaces and only use the single quote at the beginning and end.
