Allow only Administrators to delete a topic

Hello,

In this tutorial, I will show you an easy way to only allow administrators to delete a topic. Moderators and other ranks that have this permission will no longer be able to delete a topic unless someone has access to the Administration Panel and therefore needs to be an administrator.

and hit Submit.
