Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 21, 201212 yr i need for administrators and moderators to be able to log on anonymously but I don't desire any other members to have this ability. Can anonymous login be added at the group level instead of universally?
December 21, 201212 yr Well, you can disable anonymous logins and use the group setting to FORCE your admins and mods to log in anonymously... Not quite what you want, but it's halfway there. :-P
December 21, 201212 yr Author There are times when admins/mods need to be seen and times when we don't. The ability to log in anonymously needs to be at the user group level instead of global. Thanks for your responses by the way.
December 21, 201212 yr In times when you need to be seen anonymously, log in as anonymous. You can't allow anonymous logins on a group-basis because it's an option only available when logged out, and at that point everyone is in the Guest group. There's no way to know that a certain guest is a logged out staff member as opposed to a logged out regular member in order to only give the staff member the anonymous option.

You can't login anonymously when anonymous login is disabled. I guess you could go into ACP and enable it and then log in, but that's not really practical. Didn't think about everybody starting from the vantage point of Guest when logged out. Thanks for the response.
December 21, 201212 yr Again, you can disable anonymous logins, but still force your admins to log in anonymously. The group setting overrides the global setting when forced.. But your admins would ALWAYS be anonymous.
