2nd admin group?

by epidemick November 14th 2009, 2:00 am

I am trying to make an individual with rights to the admin panel, but I don't want the individual to be in the default admin group because I made it to color the users. Although I don't want the individual to be colored. I am basically saying that I want an admin that isn't colored, but I don't want the default admin group to be un-colored.

you just have to place him in another group with a different color.
he will still be in the admin group as well. but you will have him in a separate group with a different color.

see this can be confusing to explain. because you will have to have the groups in a certain order. oh i know what you do.
make a group for the admin you wish to put in there. and have it in the order above the official admin group. that is the only way the color will show for him.

so you still want him in the real admin group so he can have his permissions. but to give him a different color you will have to create another group called what ever?. and place it above the real admin group.

Umm like I just want him to have access to the admin panel but I want him to be colored like a regular member if that's possible

Just make the real admin group hidden and add the user. This way the group will be gone and no color will be displayed.. Then make the other admin group colors but don't put that user in it.

But how do you make another admin group that has access to the admin panel?

Sorry there is only one group that has admin panel access.

Oh.. so I can't like give permissions to that one user for access to the admin panel? Only by the admin group?

You will need to put that user in the real admin group to give him access to the admin panel.

I'm sorry but that's not possible.
You need groups to colour usernames, unless you want them all the 1 colour.

you can do what mario said or what i said the first time.
you can have your admins in more then one group. but the have to be in the admin group first to have administrative permissions.
