One of the members of the forum I am a part of has access to the Administration panel without being Admin. What's worse is he can MAKE himself Admin when i take it away from him! Is there a setting I am missing and what can be done about this?

Member able to access the Administration Panel? SignredHi, your title being non explicit and therefore not facilitating research via the search option, I'm not answering (nor is any other member) until you change your title for an explicit one, related to your problem

EDIT


There is no possible way a user can get admin rights without being in the admin group. Are you sure that he can? I know that Forumotion has an account that is able to login to any forums without being in the admin group. This is only when techs are looking for bugs/problems with the forums. You should not worry about this if its Forumotion.

Yeah. He has been removed from admin rights and has been DELETED, but upon creating a new account can access the admin panel and become admin without even being a member of the group.

Could be that there is a hole somewhere that gives this user access. I will forward to this to someone that can pass this information to the techs at Forumotion. If its possible please provide me a link to the forum and the account name that this user had.
