Admin?

[Sycoloco1212]

few questions id like answered..

how can i add a default field like "Founder" for the owner of the site? and no one can delete that usergroup??

also how can i made it so no one can search for the Founders username in users and change his usergroup?

also how can i make it so the Founder "Owner" cant be edited in any way..

Well in: admin cp - usergroups - usergroup manager. Click add user group and there is a bunch of settings you can apply there but members can't delete usergroups anyway and if you made a admin he should be trusted enough not to delete them, but anyway the settings should be in there just fill in the spaces and tick yes and no.

what i did is made a usergroup called founder and put my main account inside of it.. then made a new user for a test and set him inside the admin group with everyone else same permissions..

and what happend is when i deleted founder i lost my admin status on my main account so i had to remake him admin with my test account... but like the default usergroups no admin can delete no one else..

If you are scared about your admins demote them to a super moderator, also it sounds like you should start again if you deleted your self, also why dont you just rename administrator to founder and then make a administrator group for your admins and edit the permissions to allow that group to view the admin cp

Edit your includes/config.php to make it uneditable.

what part should i read =) ?

[Spank]

Nevermind, I shouldn't reply to threads at 9am on a Saturday morning. Editing the config.php will only stop anyone editing a certain user, rather than a usergroup. You could just set your user id to be uneditable and change your custom title to founder.

[Sycoloco1212]

so this line putting my userid here

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

i cant be deleted now?

[Spank]

Yep, you'll also make sure you do
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

[Sycoloco1212]

so now my usergroup and my account cant be deleted?

?>

Your account can't be changed, your usergroup's permissions could still be changed i think though. and I have no idea what you're talking about with the ?>

[Digital Jedi]

If I remember correctly the ?> was omitted from the config.php intentionally by Jelsoft. Though I don't recall why.

No one will be able to make any changes to your account form the Admin CP if your an undeletable user, not even you. That includes changing user groups.

Instead of asking questions, read the instructions on the page provided:

so now my usergroup and my account cant be deleted?

$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers']

If your vBulletin installation is going to have multiple users with administrative privileges, you may wish to protect certain users from accidental (or even malicious) deletion or editing. Any user IDs entered into this list will not be editable or deletable from the Administrators' Control Panel by anybody.


after what part do i add ?>

because i cant see that inside my config.php file..

Note: When editing config.php, make sure there is no whitespace or extra lines either before the <?php or after the ?>. If there are any extra lines or space, you will see an 'Unable to add headers' error when accessing your forums.

Note:
Later versions of vBulletin may not have the ?> at the end. This is to help prevent this kind of error from happening.

Once you have finished editing your config.php file you should save it again and prepare to upload the file to your web server.


Just a bit of reading will get you the answers. Just put in a bit of effort before you ask, it will only make you a better admin. ;)

is there anyway to make a usergroup uneditable aswell?

[Spank]

I don't think so, you can take away the ability to alter any usergroups from other admins, but not for just one usergroup.

[Sycoloco1212]

also how can i add usergroups to the Default section in usergroup manager because it seems like those cant be deleted by admins =) or even me xD
