admins abusing power - claims of reading others private messages

[moondragon13]

I was under the impression that admins were not able to read other's private messages. I have a rouge admin that is claiming to have read the private messages of others. My account is the only superadmin as set in the config.php file and even I don't have this permission. I did not allow the user to run SQL either. So is this admin full of BS?

Do have admin login as user hack installed and if so do they have that permission?

Does the admin have access to your database? If so, there's your answer.

Okay... do you have database access or modification install access? If not the former, then he cannot be looking through the database for them. If he cannot install mods either... then he cannot be using the two mods which would do the trick (Read PMs and Admin Log in as User). So I need to know what power he actually has over the site.

Secondly, if he has no power to change anything on the server level, he might have just changed a member's password and 'hacked' the account.
