Im currently trying to figure out if it is at all possible to make an Admin account with access to everything bar the Forums? Its a Guild website, and the web developer of our Guild is a low rank within the Guild and thus shouldn't have access to certain dicsussion boards.

When I tried to make him not have access to just the Forums, I removed his rights to alot more.

Thanks in advance,

You should be able to do this by:

- http://www.yoursitename/admin.php
- click on "Edit Admins"
- add this person and set their privaledges leaving the radio box for "forum" empty.

Hi,

I do as the above steps outline and it seems to remove 'IP Ban' and the rest. Im just looking to make an Admin which ONLY cannot edit, for example - his priviliages back on the Forum to view all boards etc

I'm not sure if you can create an admin account that doesn't have editing capability in your forums. I think all admins have full forum editing permissions by default. If this is the case, you may want to consider creating a new, similar rank and/or usergroup and assigning permissions that way.

Alright thanks,

Just one thing tho - does unchecking the 'Forum' checkbox meant to make 'IP Ban' and the other options/buttons in that box (on the Admin page) disappear and not have access too?

Quite honestly I'm not really sure. I thought it was for allowing users access to various parts of the site but have no idea how IP bans work with it. Quite honestly, I have no idea how that works because I've never used it personally. The only reason I go in there at all is to initiallly create my "Super User" account when first installing phpnuke and to allow other staff members full access to limited admin functions such as previewing and publishing news articles on my main page.

Just out of curiousity, what version of nuke are you running?
