Adding Admins and their access
Hello,
I created my forum a few days back and tried different options in the admin panel. I will have to add more admins to my forum. Now, I know how to add admins. My questions are:
1. Will they have same access as me?
2. Will they be able to ban or delete me from the forum?
3. Can they delete the forum? (I kind of got the answer of this question after I searched this forum, but still wanted to make sure).
4. How do I set it up such that I can give admin rights to 2-3 more people, but they are called something like "Co-Admins" and they cant ban/delete me and cant see my IP?
5. Can I ban/delete the admins (those I added) or make them normal members again in the future if the need arises?
I dont know whether multiple questions are allowed in the same thread, but they are all related so I put it them together.
Thanks for this free forum and support.
Regards,
Xeon.

Re: Adding Admins and their access
Thank you Master Marc for the reply.
For the number 4 question, you said thats not possible. Do you mean some part of it or none of it is possible?
Another question, can other admins demote me (like to normal members)?

Re: Adding Admins and their access
well for number four question it is possible but a little bit complicated but they can see your ip
and if you are the founder of the site no one can do anything to you like they can't ban you they can't demote you and anything like that

Re: Adding Admins and their access
Thanks Goku93. Thats nice to know that no one can ban/delete/demote me.
I made another person an admin. And she made another group named "co-admin" and made herself the group moderator. So she is now an admin as well as co-admin. When I go to users & groups panel and go to modify user group I cannot remove her from the co-admin group. I can remove her from the admin group though. How can I remove her from co-admin group?
Thanks.

Well first you have to change the moderator of the group Select the group and modify it and then change the moderator on Group Moderator : option put your username and then save it and then open the group again and delete her
Re: Adding Admins and their access
Yep that worked, Thanks again.
Can you please tell me what difference it is between me (the founder) and other admins, apart from the fact that they cant delete me or the forum.
I can delete them, right?

Re: Adding Admins and their access
Yes you can delete them the difference is that you have access to everything like if they try t remove you from admin post then you will have the access to enter the ACP and you don't need to put yourself moderator of chatbox you are the moderator of chatbox already
you don't have much differences
you don't have much differences

By the way, how can I change my password?
