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';

can someone help me pleaseeeee

Edit the line

PHP Code:

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


in includes/config.php. Enter your username and save it.

You have to enter the user ID not the actual user name...so you would replace the '1' with your user ID # so say your user ID # was 6 the line would look like this...

PHP Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '6';

oh so in here say my username is ['DjRowdy'] and here ['DjRowdy'] and here my username contans 7 letters and so like this = '7'; right ?

[WhaLberg]

Nope. You have to enter your userid.

If that is the link when you click on your user name then yes your user ID is 13 so the line would look like this... all you change is the user ID # NOTHING else...

You can also find your user ID by searching for your username in your adminCP... it would look something like... User: nirav (id: 13) on the top of the page

PHP Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '13';
