Can I give a moderator to user using mysql or ftp-access instead of using admincp?

[Steve Machol]

That's not really a vB question but you can give anyone you want accxess to FTP or MySQL. It's a dangerous thing to do though, so I'd be very careful.

I am sorry you didn't understand me.
I want to set user as moderator (or administrator) but i don't want to use an admincp. Can I do this using ftp or mysql?

[Steve Machol]

Sorry, I don't understand. What do you want to do exactly?

[oru]

I want to add user to a group called "moderators".

[Steve Machol]

There is already a usergroup called 'Moderators' in vB.

[oru]

yes! and i want to add a user in this group! can i use mysql or ftp instead of admincp for this?

[oru]

Sounds like someone trying to hack the forums, to me.
If you have access to the SQL database with the right user perms, you can do anyting, adding users as admins/supermods, delete threads, etc.
