Alex Scott1 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hello! I was searching your support forum and i couldn't find the topic so i figured i would create it. Is there a way to disable secondary groups? I've noticed that new registrations are getting the secondary group "Administrators" and i'd like to just disable it as i dont need people seeing the admin notifications and or possibly pose a security risk to my website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teraßyte Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 By default new registrations shouldn't be getting a secondary group. Do you have some kind of modification related to registrations installed? Or maybe you have the commerce application and are requiring users to select a subscription/product that changes the group?

Alex Scott1 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 The only mod im running is perscom, the rest is just the suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I would suggest disabling that application first of all and testing. There is nothing at all within the software that would give someone a group automatically, unless you have it set in promotions for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That login method could cause this sort of thing. I obviously can't look and don't have access, but something to consider checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 If it is registering accounts, then yes indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Scott1 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 it wouldn't be perscom as you dont register with it. you need an account on IPB before you even have access to it. is there a way to disable secondary groups as i dont use the groups feature anyway?

Richard Arch Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 @Alex Scott1 Do you have a Group Promotion rule that is doing this? ACP > Members > Group Promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 As mentioned above, first of all, you ned to disable all 3rd party applications. The reality is, unless you have a promotion rule, whether that be promotions or purchasing of items through commerce, there isnt anything else that can apply a secondary group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
