Yes, that's what I'm wondering, too.

Let me clarify, though, I'm not trying to argue--I just would like to program some simple modifications that might emulate some AdminCP tasks. I would like to know, "hey, what extra protection exactly is offered by logging in through AdminCP to do this, and why can't I simply check a user's usergroup instead?"

It's not this specific modification I'm talking about (I really don't see much need for it), but some others. For example, I'm in the middle of programming a "Shoppe" of sorts, and one of the tasks it does (when a certain item bought is activated) is adds a person to a usergroup with a larget PM inbox size. Another item adds a user to a group with a larger avatar limit.

I would like to know how my code is insecure with this, so that I can make needed adjustments.
