Title: More different user options
Post by: lasa on October 17, 2003, 09:15:01 pm: Hi,

Now you have 3 different user options:
You can be a guest, a member, and administrator.
Can I add a new option, that the user can edit and delete the comments, even as the administrator, but can't config the configuration options?

P.S. stop starting new threads in the "general discussion" or "feature request" board. If you want support, then post on the support board! I'll move this post to "support", the next one goes to the crap bin!

Post by: lasa on October 17, 2003, 09:20:31 pm: Yeah, I know that, but I want that the user can edit comments but cannot edit the config.

Post by: Joachim Müller on October 17, 2003, 09:26:28 pm: he won't be able to edit the config (people who can do that are called "administrators"). Create a group with "Can post comments" set to yes. This way, they can edit their comments. Nobody but the admin can edit other users comments, and I can't think of a reason why users should be able to do so.

Because of this reason, i don't want that the make misuse of their rank. So I want that they not delete some albums, or change anything in the config for the security...

Post by: Joachim Müller on October 17, 2003, 09:41:31 pm: so you're looking for a moderator feature? This isn't built into coppermine (yet) and can't be established that easily (with just a few lines of code).

Gaugau, one reason I think it would be very good to assign other people admin rights is because sometimes a site is so large that there should be several admins working on it..or at least someone who has create a new album/category priviliges. I know I need someone else to help me, but NOT help me administer the invision forum board. See what I mean?
