Protect Admin CP, But Allow Others Access...

The "installation.txt" file explains most of the stuff you will need to know, and there are 3 posts :

Post 1 - installation.txt attached
Post 2 - hellsatan.php attached
Post 3 - screenshot

You may edit "hellsatan.php" if you wish, and change the code around, but it is not necessary. It is purely the presence of the file that is the important bit

The installation.txt file contains all the Support Information, and the explaination of what this hack does

Approx Installation Time : 1 minute
Files to edit : 1 (admin/global.php)
Files to upload : 1 (admin/hellsatan.php)

Ah...But scsa forgot to mention that this is a clever little doody

This little thingy looks to see what userid you are trying to access it with

If you are userid 1 (what it is set to as standard), and you upload the hellsatan.php file, ONLY your admin account cannot access the Control Panel...Ideal if you have more than one admin

I just use a if($bbuserinfo[userid]!=1) { show_nopermisssion(); } in sessions.php

[Chris M]

It has the same effect

The only thing about hard-coding it (as such) to not allow userid 1, is that you either have to re-upload a sessions.php file that doesnt have that in to access it, or edit the current one and remove it...This you just rename or delete the file, then upload a new one / rename the one you renamed when you are finished

Ok.. great idea.. Here's an idea for a hack that includes the Lesser Admin hack.

Let's say you have this hack and that you download this file allowing only you full AdminCP.

Then you can delegate between other Groups so that they download a different file allowing them access to each group's custom CP. So if I want one lesser admin group to see a CP with only changing a member to a specific group or two, and maybe change the sig.. Then another lesser admin group could only add/modify/delete styles... Is this practically possible to create?

Though, actually.. I am not sure I would use this hack. Mainly because I edit the admincp alot from work.

Maybe though if the hack was created like I just described I could create a custom remoteadmincp..

Also, another idea/suggestion.. A custom cp permissions page would be a great addon. So that you can choose what permissions each custom cp has.. (like groups)

Hmmm...

Lets see...

It is possible to create a second and third and fourth Control Panel - You would really need to follow the instructions in the Lesser Admin CP hack, and take out the files you dont want them to be able to edit, and then ask if there is any code that you want to implement :

i.e. Styles CP - yourdomain.com/forum/stylecp/
"I want the user to be able to edit, but not delete the styles"...

That kind of thing...

As for the custom cp permissions...Sounds like a great idea!...I shall look into it
