You would remove his userid from the config.php file.

PHP Code:


			
    //    ****** 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'] = 'x';

its the config.php file...
no lynne hes trying to remove him and am guessing he cant look in there for hes user ID..

PHP Code:


			
    //    ****** 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'] = 'x';

by the way it not a Forum ID its a user ID

Ah, you could be right. I thought he was just trying to remove the admin permissions.

better kill his ftp access first or he will just re add himself as superadmin. then look at his profile in admincp, his usernumber is at the top, remove that user number from the superadministrator section in the includes/config.php file as shown in the above post.

What I did was to avoid admins adding themselves to FTP was chown the config.php to root

of course if you own your own server.

Michael.A · #8 10-21-2009, 03:35 AM

its is going to go off topic but how did you start your own server can you make a tut for me and ever one that like to do that!

if you a reseller then never mind..
