Optionally, you can disallow users to link and unlink accounts from the usercp.

Side Note: This Mod is a huge security risk - make ONLY super admin account able to set linked accounts or you are exposing ALL admin accounts to being linked by other admins or whoever else you permission to set links.

To secure this:

Edit the first line of the QAS: Admin Controls plugin

Change the first line to:

if ($user['userid'] AND in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],explode(",",$vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'])))

Than make sure you have only ONE account identified in config.php as a super administrator.
