Admins with no rights?

[Mobo]

Hello, It's been a year or so since I've messed with vB, but I can't seem to give my newly added Admins all the access that I have. I want a few of them to have access to the Admin Control Panel the same as I do. Just changing them to Admin status does not do this. They can login to the ACP, but they do not see the same screens as me. How can I give them what I have?

Thanks,

Keith

You should set their access permissions in the "Administator Permissions" page in Usergroup Options.

That gives me this....

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 $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:

$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:

$superadministrators = '1';

Well that error message explains exactly what you need to do.

Why should I have to edit that page in order for me to make more Admins? Is it setup like as a defult from vB so that the Admin, who builds the site, does not have access to every thing?

Is your userid 1 on your site?

Someone could have deleted you userid from there or your user id is not 1...

in the ACP go to your user profile and at the top you will see it (id:1)
