Limited User Management

[Sarcoth]

Is there a way to give certain users or a usergroup the permissions to adjust the usergroup of other users? That's a bit unclear I think. I have a gaming guild type forum. I have some users that are officers of the guild; officer is a usergroup on my forum. I'd like to give these officers the ability to add registered users to the recruit or member usergroup. They would also need the ability to remove people from member or recruit. That's it though. I don't want to allow any other permissions to the officers. They can't add or remove people from any other usergroup.

So, if something like that doesn't exist, I'll see what I can come up with. I was thinking about creating a form that only officers would have access to. From there, they could enter in a username, usergroup, add/remove, and then press submit. The form would then do the job and even add a post to an existing thread for logging purposes (to show who did what to whom and when).

Thanks for your time!

There is nothing in default vbulletin to allow you to do what you want. I was gonna suggest writing your own page, but it looks like you are thinking of doing that. You can add something at the top of the page to only allow certain users to see the page (others get No Permission) and you can also use default vbulletin code to add stuff to the Moderator Log when they perform an action.

Thanks for the reply Lynne. Yea, the restrictions part is easy, I've done that before. I actually made a cool code last year for my website that had 5 games. You had to complete one game before you could move to the next. Each time you successfully completed one, you were added to a membergroup that allowed you to access the next one. The only problem I forsee for myself is that the code I already have updates the user accessing the page. I'm not sure, yet, how to allow one user to update another user's membergroup. I'll get a thread started in the programming forum for that though.

Thanks!

Why not use Public Joinable usergroups with Group Leaders?

Hmmm, very interesting idea. I'll look into that and see if that would work for my situation. Thanks Marco.
