    simply add another admin

    ok on my phpbb I had 4 admins, we are all busy people, but atleast one of us would be on the site when others would be out of town for a while.... I'm looking for ways to add them back to admins so they can go to the admincp and see everything I see and do whatever I can do, thanx

    Just change their usergroup to 'Administrator' and set the appropriate promotions here:

    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.)

        Yes, only put your userid in that field.
