Hi one feature that i would like to suggest is to make it so only superadmins can alter the settings, because cant an admin just add themselves to the list?

EDIT

also a non superadmin was able to login to my account (super admin account)

[Valter]

Admin can't login to another Admin account.

I can not make that only SuperAdmin can alter the settings. But you can. If Admin is allowed to change any vBulletin settings then he can change this hack's settings too. You may wish to edit your Admins permissions and dissallow them to access vBulletin Options.

Another solution is to make that only SuperAdmins can use this hack and remove completely option where you can define which ones can do it.

1.) Admins who arent allowed to use this hack, is the hack invisible for them?
2.) What can i do that a SAdmin can login as a "standat" admin?

[JimmyN]

I got this error:
Under admincp, user, add user

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /admincp/user.php(461) : eval()'d code on line 14

Can anyone fix this?

thanks

Can use and can see are 2 diffenrent things^^
But if i define that UserID 1 can use the Hack, can ID3 (another member, but admin too) see the "Login as User" Link in the Profil and in the ACP?
So that the admin (ID 3) dont know that theres is this hack?

1. I have no time to reply to every single post.
2. There are posts to which I don't wish to reply because people asked about things which are explained already in product notes.
3. You didn't installed this mod and support is gived only to users who clicked install.
4. I see no what problem you have with this mod. You didn't posted anything before this post.
