Is this possible?

[singa]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone had any pointers.

This is what I want to do:

1. I want to an administrator to run my forum instead of me. I ain't got the time. And I want to concentrate on the main site.
I want to be able to "stop" him from managing my forum as an administrator if I am not happy with him - possible?

2. I want this administrator that will run the forum to earn from google Ad Sense. In other words the account with google will have his bank details and google deposits the money directly in his account - possible?

Thanks

You are free to give any member you want full Administrator access, the keyword here though is full. If you want to have a completely hands off approach they will need complete access to ACP and also server cpanel/plesk, ftp etc. Obviously this has some major issues that you need to consider the most important of which is trust.

As for stopping them from being an admin, yes you can do this by revoking admin access and/or changing passwords. Having said this, if they have full access there is nothing to stop them from installing a "backdoor" script just incase you revoke their access at a later date.

Personally I would not give out full admin access, I would make them a super moderator and then manage ACP/Server myself.

Yes this is possible, the person would have to have an Adsense account with their details and then you use the Adsense code from this on your site.
