View Full Version : Limit Permissions in the Mod CP

I have two groups that can access the mod CP - Supermods and Reporters.

In the mod CP I Have scripts that will update parts of the main website. I don't want Supermods to have access to them, but I do want the Reporters to. I would put them in the admin CP, but then I have to limit their ability to access things which causes them to lose the ability to ban (as I don't want them to be able to edit members).

I would like to make certain link groups be visible to the Reporters group while invisible to the supermod group. How can I achieve this?

Even if you make them invisible, it will not stop supermods from using them.
Therefore i'd suggest to put a permission theck in the assigned PHP files.

I don't think my supermods would figure it out. How would I do a permission check?

much easier way to do this rename the modcp folder on your server to something else and only give that name to who you want to anyone clicking on modcp link will get page not found simple
