Ok, I gave my new Admin account the power to ONLY Administer Users and I see that I was able to move my SuperAdmin Account to another group (looser group)... That is not good!
I next ONLY gave access to "Can Administer User Permissions" and there I see they could change the permissions of the Admin group to be locked out and make a new group to replace the Admin Group... :surprised: Not Good!
You can prevent your admin account from being altered by adding it to the "UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS" list in your config.php (normally just above the superadmins list).
Thanks guys... I never noticed that option before as I never needed it before :ermm: I have to be honest giving up some of the control and getting the help worked out... A doamin I had owned for less then two weeks and a new vBulletin license that I just purchased last week is looking like a real community...
I would just give him Super Moderator or Global Moderator rights and leave it at that. Unless you have a huge forum/member base there is really no need for two Admins. Why does he want admin rights?
Agreed, I wouldn't give him admin rights, what if he decides to go crazy and delete all your templates, cahge user information and such. that would be bad. I would suggest moderator levels only'
I wouldn't trust anyone that Emailed me out of the blue to run my site. Just seems like hes after your vB info so he can get a copy or get access to this site to download hacks for his Illegal Vbulletin? Might want to ask and see if he runs a site with a vB, if so I would report him to Vbulletin and see if he is running a valid script?
I'm afraid I agree with most replies in this thread, I wouldn't give admin rights to anyone who just emailed me out of the blue. If you need help, look amongst people you already trust and know.
