Make the changes you want, then immediately add him to this section in your 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'] = '1'; 

Change the '1' to whatever his member ID is. He will not be able to alter his settings again. Not even you can, unless you remove is ID from the above code.

On another note: If your admin isn't trustworthy to leave the settings as YOU set them, he probably shouldn't be an admin.

If you have 2 admin in your board that would be the problems..

is better to have one admin in a board, maybe should change his

user group, change it to sup mod.. hope that help

Is he a super-admin?
Added to the ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ****** line in config.php?

How dio i restrict another Admin from changing his admin settings, i keep limiting his settings and he keeps changing them back again, I don't want him deleting posts (mainly his own, because I want to see what he is deleting) and I don't want him approving/banning users... I keep unchecking the boxes but when i come back they are checked again... also i keep restricting the characters per post to 10000 characters and he keeps changing it to 200 000 and pasting long posts...

can I do this?

Mike.
