How Do I Add An Administrator?

[VegasMack]

On VBulletin Version 3.0.7, how can I turn a registered user into a second Administrator?

Thanks,

Mack

Change his usergroup iin the Admin CP, then set the appropriate permissions:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions

You may need to make yourself a Super Admin in order to do this. Edit this section of config.php:

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$superadministrators = 'x';

...and replace x with your userid (not user name.)

That worked Steve.

Thanks!

I have done all the above and I still don't have access to alter administrator permissions. Anyone? I am running 3.5

If you did this correctly then it would work. Guaranteed.

Here is what I have it set to:

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ****** // The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions // page, which controls the permissions of other administrators $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,2'; // ****** MySQLI OPTIONS ***** // PHP can be instructed to set connection paramaters by reading from the // file named in 'ini_file'. Please use a full path to the file. // Used to set the connection's default character set // Example: // $config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = 'c:\program files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini'; $config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] =

I am user id #2. When I click on Administrator Permissions under usergroups, it says:

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit administrator permissions.

If you think you should have permission to access this page, you will need to edit the $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] variable in the includes/config.php file.

What am I doing wrong?

[Steve Machol]

I can't tell much from that. As I said if you did this correctly it should work. Have you installed any hacks or plugins?

[MKeditor]

Nope

No hacks or plug in. It is bone stock....unless F5, that hosts the server has added anything.

Is there anything I can post here that would help you to see if I added the code correctly?
