Customize AdminCP via Admin Permissions

// Make AdminCP Stricter
// Made by House of Crazed on 7/10/04
// Released on vbulletin.org
// First modification released here on vB.org

-- Information --

I originally made this modification to my admincp to further lock down my admincp to any of my supermod / admin / mods. It was easier to me to do this instead of having to modify two different CP's. Then I decided "Release on vB.org, never know if someone else is looking for the same thing." I hope that this will be helpful to some people.

Support will be given as best as I can help.

You have to keep adding to the permissions list, if you desire.

Unless the hack author adds in that file change themselves in the install file.

One more question if you dont mind... if I allow a mod to alter usergroups, are they prevented from adding someone into a mod or admin group?

I'm confused.

This is not a mod to alter usergroups.

This is a mod to alter administrator permissions which only Super Administrators can only grant permissions to other Administrators.

No - this hack just further restricts the Admin Permissions you give to people who have access to the AdminCP...

Usergroups as yes will allow whoever has that access Usergroup Manager and actually change the Usergroups themselves - it deosn't give them access to the User page to change a particular Users Usergroup.

To implement what you want, you will want to keep the ModCP and modify it to allow your Mods and SuperMods to make group changes based on criteria you set in the AdminCP - see:

But don't give them the UserGroup access in the Administrative permissions..


edit - after actually testing it out, I edited for a better explanation.

~bump.

I just installed this today, and to throw my own little twist on it I edited out a few fields in the admincp/user.php file. Now, the problem is that I want to block out Usergroups because I don't want Supermods to be able to make themselves admins.

I tried blocking out this code:

PHP Code:

    // USERGROUP SECTION
    print_table_header($vbphrase['usergroup_options']);
    print_chooser_row($vbphrase['primary_usergroup'], 'user[usergroupid]', 'usergroup', $user['usergroupid']);
    if (!empty($user['membergroupids']))
    {
        $usergroupids = $user['usergroupid'] . (!empty($user['membergroupids']) ? ',' . $user['membergroupids'] : '');
        print_chooser_row($vbphrase['display_usergroup'], 'user[displaygroupid]', 'usergroup', iif($user['displaygroupid'] == 0, -1, $user['displaygroupid']), $vbphrase['default'], 0, "WHERE usergroupid IN ($usergroupids)");
    }
    $tempgroup = $user['usergroupid'];
    $user['usergroupid'] = 0;
    print_membergroup_row($vbphrase['additional_usergroups'], 'membergroup', 0, $user);
        print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['shoutbox_cpuser_banned'], 'user[shoutbanned]', $user['shoutbanned']);
    print_table_break('', $INNERTABLEWIDTH);
    $user['usergroupid'] = $tempgroup; 


But when I do I get a database error. Does anyone have a solution for this?
