Assigning administrator rights to a post-based group

The reason why you want to make them admins probably is because you want to assign moderator tasks to them or because you want them to use batch-add. Both things are a bad idea, so you better post what you actually want to accomplish.

The reason is simple: I'm the administrator of a martial arts forum (based on smf), and some users are helping me with php coding on other sections of the community (we use the same db but we don't work on smf code). In fact, every user that belongs to "SiteDeveloper" group has his own ftp account and is absolutly independent.

Two of these users wanted to add to the community a gallery, ad we decided to use the smf brige, because we don't want the already registered users  make another registration. So, they are working on the gallery now, but they have to disable the bridge every time they want to do an administration task (the gallery is not fully setted up yet).

Coppermine install: http://gallery.artistimarziali.org
Forum install: http://forum.artistimarziali.org
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.25
Forum version: SMF 1.1.11
Test user account: coptest/coptest

Thak you! :)

Well, why don't you make them admins in SMF then?

I can't answer to that question in a public board. :)

I assume that what I want to do... Isn't possible without some kind of hack?

No. When CPG is bridged the forum takes over all the access control so a user must be admin in the forum to have those rights in the gallery.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

You'd need to hack the bridge file to specify an addtional group in SMF as admin group members in coppermine.
