Admin Permissions

How do you automatically specify administrator permissions? If you set someone Admin through vB it gives them very limited permission (which is good), however when I set someones usergroup to 6 using a query they have full access. So I would like to know how I would go about doing this.

Thanks

quey table administrator and alter 'adminpermissions' field, 65532 is full permissions, this is in init.php for bitfields:

PHP Code:

// field names for administrative permissions
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['adminpermissions'] = array(
    'ismoderator'           => 1,
    'cancontrolpanel'       => 2,
    'canadminsettings'      => 4,
    'canadminstyles'        => 8,
    'canadminlanguages'     => 16,
    'canadminforums'        => 32,
    'canadminthreads'       => 64,
    'canadmincalendars'     => 128,
    'canadminusers'         => 256,
    'canadminpermissions'   => 512,
    'canadminfaq'           => 1024,
    'canadminimages'        => 2048,
    'canadminbbcodes'       => 4096,
    'canadmincron'          => 8192,
    'canadminmaintain'      => 16384,
    'canadminupgrade'       => 32768
);

oh I just copied the number 65532 from my localhost, so that means I am not a moderator and cannot control panel, don't know why it misses the number 2 ?
