Hi,

Regarding the elevated Moderator powers via the "Account Moderator" optiom, a mod has access to maintain user accounts, including admin accounts. I appreciate that this access would be granted to mods on a trust basis, but I still am not comfortable that a mod with this access also has the power to remove an admin's powers.

Forum Administrator: Y [Toggle]
Email Confirmation: Yes [Toggle]
Confirmed Account: Yes [Toggle]
Can use signature: Yes [Toggle]
Can use private messaging: Yes [Toggle]
Account Moderator: No [Toggle]
COPPA: No [Toggle]
Moderating Forums: None

Is it possible to at least filter out/disable access to admin accounts with this function? Or at least filter out the "Forum Administrator" toggle and the ban option when mods are viewing admin accounts?

Just wondering. Neutral

If it requires a code change, at least point me in the right direction as to where this can be modified.

Thanks.
Kolerij

Actually making of admins is already limited to just forum admins, while you can see the link it won't work due to an existing limiter. The patch below hides the links as well.

Is this an upcoming feature or is this already available as of 2.7.6?

I was doing some testing in 2.7.6 and was able to remove the core admin's powers while logged in as a mod with admin rights.

Am I missing something? Smile

My apologies.

Didn't notice the recent timestamp on the cvs checkin for admuser.php. Rolling Eyes

Will apply this patch and let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

Hi Ilia,

Made the change and noticed a small bug. Looks like a lil' reverse logic mixup. Smile

Quote:

Line 345:
if ($acc_mod_only) {
echo '<tr class="field"><td nowrap>Forum Administrator:</td><td>'.($u->users_opt & 1048576 ? 'Y' : 'N').' [<a href="admuser.php?act=admin&usr_id='.$usr_id . '&' . __adm_rsidl.'">Toggle</a>]</td></tr>';
} else {
echo '<tr class="field"><td nowrap>Forum Administrator:</td><td>'.($u->users_opt & 1048576 ? 'Y' : 'N').'</td></tr>';
}

Believe it should be...

}

I updated with this on my side and its working fine.

Thanks.
