Can't ban user (Urgent Help)

[Clement7]

Hey all,

Ok, when I try banning a user, my admin cp says "You are not authorized to ban users."
Any help with that? This is really very urgent. Thanks in advance. God Bless.

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit administrator permissions.

If you think you should have permission to access this page, you will need to edit the $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] variable in the includes/config.php file.

To allow the administrators to access this page, edit the variable to include the user IDs of those administrators should have access, separating each user ID with a comma, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,25,57';

To allow only a single administrator to access this page, simply add that user's ID with no commas, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

Well, you just posted instructions on what you need to do next

At the moment I can't access the server.

But how is it that the other mods are able to ban people and I can't? I didn't edit the config.php for them.

Ok, I got in there now. Everything is set to yes. But I still can't ban members. What do I do?

Did you check Forums & Moderators > Show All Moderators > click on Edit Permissions next to your username and make sure everything is set to Yes (especially Can Ban Users)?

Thanks so much! That check box and a few others were the only boxes that were not checked. Fixed. Thanks again. God Bless.
