Can I remove access to admin tools?

[William05]

I've got some non-technical folks that I want to moderate threads/forums. BUT - I don't want to give them access to the admin tools in the "thread tools" and "form tools" dropdown.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

When creating regular forum moderators:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Add Moderator (in the menus on the right)

...you can specify which permissions they will have.

I tried that - and set the options to "mass-move" / "mass-prune" to NO but still get the Admin Tools option box. [see attachment]

How can I hide the "Admin Tools" section? I don't want them have access to anything that forces them to log-in to the Moderation Panel.

Thanks.

I just tested this... those options show up for all moderators, even if they don't have access. It is when they try to access those options that they are denied access.

Ok...thanks.
