Subscriptions - Possible to Exclude Member Group from Promotion/Demotion on Purchase/Renewal?

[Randy Calvert]

Is there a way to exclude certain member groups from group promotions when using a subscription?  

I had a subscriber that I later made a moderator.  He wants to continue contributing to the site financially, but each time his subscription renews, it switches him back into the group setup for subscribers.  

Is there a way to set moderators from being promoted when they have an active subscription?  I figured if worse comes to worse, I can create a new subscription that does not have promotion enabled, but I'd prefer to not create multiple ones if I can avoid it.  

Thanks!

If I recall right, only accounts with ACP access are automatically excluded from promotion/demotion. There's no additional setting to exclude other specific groups.

In theory you could add them to a group with ACP access but totally restrict their account so they can't actually do anything (except changing their email address or password).

That might work to add them to the ACP with no permissions.
