Spend Credits restricted

Hello,
Why administrators aren't allowed to spend credits ? I can buy credits in a forum but I am not allowed to spend them ? :wouhou:

Only the founder can spend credits.

So if for example the founder is absent and ads will be enabled after 24 hours ? I have to wait for the founder to log on to expend ads ? May the co-admin can spend credits on everything except domain name managment as he can buy credits.

This has always been the way.

Th founder is the only one to use and see the spend credits on the forum this is down to a security system we have in place to stop Co admins from spending credits We understand it can be a little mad at times but it's a founders tool and it will not change.

My advice is to PM / Email your founder and ask them to log in and deal with this before it runs out.

Why it is a security system ? Please explain more.

well if you was hacked and you was a admin not the founder they could use up credits on things you don't want to use them on and we will not give credits back if miss used.

so we set up a system that only a founder can see if you have credits and they will only be the ones to use them.

The system is made so you and no one else can use them other then the founder.

This will never change and there is nothing you can do all but Email your founder to do the work for you.

If I authorise to such co - admin to access for example for part storage, Another for remove ads + remove copyrights. so spend credits for co-admins limits could be set by the founder, it can be a middle proposition.

Forumotion will never change the way the credits system is set up. It is a way to safeguard the credits of the forum. The founder will only be the one who can purchase and spend credits in the administration panel.

P.S. There are parts of the administration panel that are only visible to the founder.

For Example: Templates

You are free. But why do you do not allow templates for admins ?

Is your question in the first post answered?

We can say I suggest that spend credits features (remove ads, remove copyrights, ssl, storage and domain name) could be authorized to specific co-admins by authorization by founder. If founder account is hacked then hacker could use credits so I think it is not reasonable 100 %.

Security issues made by other sites that can be set or not by admin :
Whitelist IP
SMS confirmation code (0,05 $ per sms)
Call confirmation code (0,15 $ per call)
2 factors authentification
PIN Code
Write your password compulsory by Keyboard
This level of protection is not always sure.
