administrator permissions in version 4

[helltonic]

Hello, i have a question about this.

Say I have 4 usergroups:
- Registered Users
- Employees
- Middle Management
- Upper Management

I want people in Middle Management to be able to change a Registered User to an Employee, but the side effect is that they would then also be able to change themselves to Upper Management and see the Upper Management private forums.

I was wondering if version 4 has any way to limit what usergroups people can change to?

I'm guessing you are using vbulletin for work?

Now that I think about it, this could be done easily.

Using ftp, when you promote them to middle management, add their name to admin config file, that way they cannot edit anything on their profile, only others.

This works on all versions for the protection of special users. They cannot edit themselfs, and others cannot edit them unless removed from the config file.

Marco, thanks I will post the question on the vbulletin.com forum, but while I still have the attention of gerbil249, let me just ask him:

Using the admin config file you mentioned, is there anything to prevent a member of middle management from simply creating another account for themselves and then they can set it to whatever usergroup they want, including upper management?

Certainly. It was and with me.
