Period.It's a thing because you do NOT have the config.php file modified correctly.There is nothing lacking in the vBulletin system for this issue. What is lacking is your settings in the config file.

Please post what you have there, for the relevant settings. I almost bet you're using usernames instead of userid numbers.

// ****** 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'] = '1,3,4';

// ****** 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'] = '1,3,4';

// ****** 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'] = '';

// ****** 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'] = '1';

// ****** 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'] = '1,3,4';


I am using numbers...

--------------- Added [DATE]1536549864[/DATE] at [TIME]1536549864[/TIME] ---------------

I am not trying to make my account undetectable. I am trying to make it where if you are a Super Administrator, not regular admin can change you primary usergroup and then ban your account.

With those settings, only the user with userid 1 cannot be altered via the AdminCP.
