D.San Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I really like how I can modify permissions for Adminstrators. What they can do and cannot do in my ACP. That is a really nice feature!My only real complaint about it is this. During my testing, I created a Super Moderator and wanted the said account to have access to the ACP for topic moderation, log viewing, basically everything a true Moderator should be able to view.After configuring the restrictions on the account, I logged into it to view it. Sure enough the account can only browse and modify the sections I allowed it to. However it was able to 'see' everything I didn't want it to.So my feature request is this. When I limit what a user can see in the ACP, I want to truely 'limit' them. Only the functions I want them to use should they be able to see. Access or not, I don't want them to see that they exist.Hide everything in the ACP that the account is not specifically allowed to use. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lywellyn Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I wholeheartedly agree. I was wishing for the same thing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.San Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeh vbulletin has the moderator panel, hopefully they will add that to ip board 2.3 :DI prefer the inline moderation myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeh vbulletin has the moderator panel, hopefully they will add that to ip board 2.3 :DThey removed it in 2.0But yes, I aggree, after all - members can't see moderator functions can they? Why should moderators be able to see admin functions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Barrie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeh vbulletin has the moderator panel, hopefully they will add that to ip board 2.3 :DFor the record, Jelsoft plans to REMOVE the Moderator Panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFat Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 For the record, Jelsoft plans to REMOVE the Moderator Panel.....Why. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Barrie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 ....Why. >_<... because the ModCP is counter-productive? Inline moderation is the better option, as you have access to all the tools necessary in the place most relevant to them. Inline administration is a bad idea, because everything is relevant to some admin action, but inline moderation is the best moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.San Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Can we keep this on-topic, please? :thumbsup: Back to my suggestion. If I allow someone access to the AdminCP but disallow them from using certain features, why should they be able to see them if they can't access them? For example, I didn't allow the account access to the Help & Support section of the AdminCP but the tab still existed for them. Users cannot see Moderator controls. Why can those with access to the AdminCP see controls they are not allowed to use?+1 Suggestion: When restricting accounts from accessing certain features within the AdminCP, remove the areas that the account does not have access to or permission to use. Leave only the controls that are allowed specifically for that user.Also, this has been suggested before around here but I'll bring it up a third... fourth time. Add the ability to customize AdminCP permissions for a Group instead of individual users. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirix Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I would love to see this feature. It would be nice to have the option to either allow them to see blocked off areas, or have the option to completely hide off the blocked areas from view.

iMonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 +5 on that. I haven't used my license in a while due to the domain dropping, however I had hoped that this was already a feature. Wholeheartedly agree with the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.San Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I am surprised that none of the IP team have replied to this yet. I feel left out. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASFx Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 This would be VERY NICE if this was implemented. I'd love to be able to let my moderators access certain things in the admin cp without making them look through all the irrelevant parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Also we need to add a group to the feature, not just a singe person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.San Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah being able to incorporate groups into this would also be a plus. I believe the group aspect of this was discussed in another topic!Why has none of the IPS staff said this is a good/bad idea? :blink: Would be nice to know if they've even seen it.

Mark Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The IPS staff tend to reply to say why a feature suggestion will not work, I find that if nobody replies, it's a good thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.Papaioannou Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I was also hoping for the ability to 'hide' the restricted areas, not just restrict access.I very much hope that this feature is added in the next update, or we at least hear from the staff on this in some way regarding the matter.

Add the ability to customize AdminCP permissions for a Group instead of individual users. :P I believe that there needs to be both ACP Restrictions by Group and ability to hide ACP Areas that should be unaccessible for User/Group, so my vote for both of these. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
