Hidden status?? [SOLVED]

Greetings,

First of all, thanks to whom that help me with this issue.

Basically I have a problem with the hidden statuses. It really really bugs me.

I am "The Sims Helper" of a Phpbb 3 forum (don't ask). Even though my title is only a helper, I am granted the rights to moderate certain sections of the forum.

The forum has a total of 5 special groups:
Helpers (without moderating rights)
The Sims Helpers (with moderating rights)
VIPs/Special Partners (without moderating rights)
Moderators
Administrators

The admins of that forum have made a lot of changes to the forum and I don't know how to alter the settings in my forum to make them similar to that forum:

Helpers: They cannot see hidden normal members' usernames, but they can see a Helper's and a The Sims Helper's username in "Who is Online" section/webpage even though that Helper/The Sims Helper is hidden.

The Sims Helpers: They cannot see hidden normal members' usernames, but they can see a Helper's and a The Sims Helper's username in "Who is Online" section/webpage even though that Helper/The Sims Helper is hidden. They cannot see Moderators' usernames if moderators are hidden.

Moderators: They can see a hidden The Sims Helper/Helper's username in the section or the webpage even though he/she is hidden. I am not sure if they can see hidden normal members' usernames though.

I know there is an option in Administration Panel for allowing/disallowing moderators to see hidden status of a member. But I do not want some of the special groups with moderating rights to have this right. That forum can, but why can't I?

P.S. I also want to know how to let certain moderators ban users while other moderators cannot.

There is not a way to limit which group sees usernames and ban members.

The hidden status is viewable to all staff groups and members who are friends with the hidden users.

Thanks for your answer SLGray. I believe you have answered my question .
