Admin Levels...
By Chalkiex
Hi,
I've looked around and there are variations of what I'm looking for, basically, I want to be able to add a user to my site who is given certain Admin rights, but not all of them, for example, they would be able to authorise new membership requests, but not be able to change of any of the plugins, mods or site settings for example.
Anyone any idea if this already exists... if so, can you point me to it, cause I can't find it.
Thank in advance,
Chalkiex.

Elgg does not have a roles system. I think there is a plugin floating around called admin of admins.
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/jeabakker/read/384468/admin-4-admins if that plugin... else there *was an elgg core plugin that got dropped/ abandoned called "Roles" some months back - i do have zipfiloe for that but *not recommended unless you are truly php/elgg heavyweight coder ;)
I use superadmin and it can accomplish exactly what you're looking for - http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/385067/developer/jdalsem/superadmin
It allows you to create admins or superadmins. Superadmins has full access rights to everything on your site. Normal admins (or moderators as I call them ) can delete content, ban or delete new users etc - in order for a normal admin to validate new users, just give them a direct link to the unvalidated users page.
Before enabling this plugin - make sure you read through all the plugin's comments - there are a couple of changes that you will need to make in order to get the plugin running correctly.
Good luck.
Nice one guys - happy days - right here goes nothin.
