Administrative and Maintenance Tools - MODCP User Administration (renamed from Username/Usergroup Changes)

Nestaron's MODCP User Administration

This mod will allow for limited User Profile Edding changes in the MODCP. There are 6 options that can be set via the vBulletin Options/Settings:

Features:

1. Change Usernames
2. Change/Set Custom User Titles
3. Change Usergroups
4. Set Access Mask
5. View Current Access Mask

• Enables/Disables the product.
• Enable/Distable ModCP Index Page Search Box
  [*Protected Users - Set by entering userids, separate user with commas.
• Restricted Usergroups - Set by entering usergroupids, separate usergroups with commas. (default groups are Super Moderators, Administrators, Moderators, Banned Users).
• Usergroups Allowed to Use mod - Set by entering usergroupids, separate usergroups with commas. (default groups are Super Moderators & Administrators).
• Restricted Forums - This is for the access mask feature. Set by entering forumids, separate forums using commas.

Please mark installed to get support help.

Usergroup Restrictions: The default settings are going to be fine for a majority of sites. Upon install the following usergroups are restricted: Moderator, Administrator, Super Moderator & Banned Users.

It's important that the banned usergroup is included since this mod does not handle bans. There is no option to set a length or reason for bans via this mod. Moderators will still be able to ban via the normal MODCP ban user menu.

Installation Instructions:

1. Upload the files in the upload/modcp/ folder to the modcp folder on your site.
2. Import that product XML File via the AdminCP.
3. Set your options for restricted users and usergroups.
4. Set the CANVIEWPROFILE setting to YES for Moderator to Access this Mod, Set to NO to deny access to this mod.

Special note: Moderator setting of "Can View Whole Profile" is required for some features of this mod.

Special note (re: access mask): Super Moderators can no give themselves access to restricted forums. HOWEVER, if they already have an access mask set for a restricted forums they are able to change it. User Usergroup permissions to deny access to forums for Super Moderators instead of access mask.

This mod has been tested on versions 3.7.2 and 3.8.0 of vBulletin.
Report Bugs & request additions here or via PMs.

Version 1.1 Update: Fixed an issue where a Moderator could still assign a restricted group. If two or more additional groups are selected, including a restricted group the mod was able to assign the group. This has been fixed in the 1.1 update.

Version 1.2 Update:

• Added search form to ModCP index page. Option to turn this on/off in settings.
• Changed Permission to use a vb option setting for who can use this mod. The "canviewprofile" setting is still required; However, now you can set "canviewprofile" to yes for people who you don't want to use this mod without giving them the ability to change user settings.
• Cleaned up phrases and error messages.

Version 1.3 Update:

• Consolidated User Editor Form to include both usergroups, username and title edits.
• Added Access Mask Control.
• Fixed several permission check issues
• Added more settings in vb Options.
• Cleaned up phrases, consolidated forms & update code.

I've been looking for something like this for a while. I'll test out later on.

Seems useful! Not for me but in general. Nice job.

I Just fix an issue that was discovered while performing a live test. Please be sure to update to version 1.1 if you have downloaded/installed this mod.

OK, this mod has some of what I was looking for (but not exactly what I need though)

what I need is to allow super moderator(s) to choose any specific user as a moderator of any forum(s).

using this mod a super moderator can change a user's usergorup, so he can make any user moderator depending on permissions in admincp, but he can't make him a moderator of a forum(s).

can you add such feature?

thanks for your nice work

That might be something I could add later on down the line. I'll need to look into the way moderators are assigned in the code before I can commit to adding such a feature.

The next update will include the ability to grant access to forums via Access Mask and Customer User Titles.

Tested this and an additional protected user is not being protected from having the avatar etc changed although the protected user with userid 1 is protected against this. Any ideas?

This mod doesn't handle avatars.

As for the protection of user 1 that is most likely because it is listed as an unalterable user in the config.php file.

Thank you, forgot to add all the admins to the config so nobody can edit their avatars etc Works a treat and ties in with all the other permissions for mods well too
