add admin config.php
 

is it posible for config.php to be bypassed?
user 1 has all the permissions but when i put my member number in it gets ignored!
There are other admin members on the site but it is only user id 1 that is mentioned

u might still have to modify the permissions for the member you want to add as admin

administrator permissions is the last option under the 'usergroups' tab


Hope that helps :)

You must add in the 3 following sections nº of your ID:

.-USERS WITH ADMIN LOG VIEWING PERMISSIONS

.-USERS WITH ADMIN LOG PRUNING PERMISSIONS

.-SUPER ADMINISTRATORS

That yes, also as the friend says, Topten; you must give permissions in the user group the same one ID.

"You must add in the 3 following sections n? of your ID:" did that How do i get into usergroups if i dont have admin rights?

(Me being 7910)

// ****** USERS WITH ADMIN LOG VIEWING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to view the admin log in the control panel.
// Users must be specified by *ID number* here. To obtain a user's ID number,
// view their profile via the control panel. If this is a new installation, leave
// the first user created will have a user ID of 1. Seperate each userid with a comma.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canviewadminlog'] = '7910';

// ****** USERS WITH ADMIN LOG PRUNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to remove ("prune") entries from the admin
// log. See the above entry for more information on the format.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canpruneadminlog'] = '7910';

// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '7910';

// ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******
// The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users.
// To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas.
$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '7910';

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '7910';

thanks guys got there in the end only thing is that i had to give other admin enhanced rights through config.php in order for him to give me admin rights before i could go in and make things right

Surely that must be a bug!! new owner of forums shouldnt be at the mercy of former owners
