Can't assign Admin priviliges to users

Can't assign Admin priviliges to users · by batmmannn January 27th 2010, 10:26 am

I go into my control panel and I select the user I want to change priviliges for I change the option to Admin, I save it, IT DOES NOTHING! When the user tries to log in he STILL HAS NO ADMIN privilages. HELLLLP!

To make that person to have to privileges as an admin,
USER GROUPS >> Group Administration >> ADMINISTRATORS ( the one that says HIDDEN GROUP, the very first one ) >> click the MODIFY icon >> then INSERT HIS/HER name in to the GROUP MEMBERS.

by Sheena January 27th 2010, 10:37 am

Go to your Admin Panel and directly click USER GROUPS.

I asked batmmannn about that, to find out where he made a mistake. Perhaps I should quote, but we wrote at the same time... Mr. Green

Trying what you said but seeing no change here should not the added member show up in the group?

by Sheena January 27th 2010, 10:51 am

That added member should show up in the group, once you added it as a group member in it,

It made the user a moderator and not an administrator.....GRRRRRR

Would you mind to provide your forum link so i could see your legendary rank below?

by kole017 January 27th 2010, 10:59 am

I think you need to set up rank.
Go to: Admin panel>Users&Groups>Rank administration>Add a new rank>Type the name of the rank (Administrator)>Choose Set as special rank:yes>Save
Next go to the Admin panel>Users&Groups>Search users end search for a use>Go to modifi an user>find Rank Title and choose Adimistrator.

Hello,

Kole017, giving someone a rank is just an image to their profile, no privlidges Wink

Batmmann, to add someone to the Administrative group, simply add them to the group with the gold crown in groups administration
Admin panel >> Users & Groups > Groups administration > Find the group called "Admin" ensure it has a gold crown next to it then add member member/s there Smile

But what you have been told above is basically what I said, I just added in the gold crown part to help you figure out what group is the administrative group.

I know that.
But Batmmann said that he already put a member in group Administrators. That should be the end of the story, but he said that users have no privileges. What exactly don't have I don't know, Batmmann should better clarify his problem.
