Founding User Privilages

[lapras]

Let's say you start a VBulletin Board (so you are an administrator) and you decide on giving another user admin privilages. Can that new user delete you or are you not removable?

There is a file called getadmin.php which you upload if need be. This will restore your admin status etc.

In vB3, you can now set certain administrative accounts so that they cannot be deleted or de-admined. vB3 also supports admin permissions, so that certain admins can only acces a portion of the Admin CP.

There is hacks avaliable at vB2 where by you can set yourself as the administrator of the forum. Others admin can't edit , delete to your information.

My best advice will be to carefully select your administrators. That will be the best choice.

At default, every admin is equal, and as such can edit or delete anything, including other Admins. Its all about whoever fires first.

If you have the proper scripting, you can make it so "lower" admins cannot touch you, as I did with a custom script Me and my friend made.

Nice. That will most likely make my vb2 custom script obsolete.
