Contributors Thanked: 12 times	Hi; I'd like to create a moderator that would be able to change forum and page structure, but not view the plugin settings. How can I do this? Even though I set "admin" in the structure categories and I check "read" for admin panel, I can't achieve this.

Donator Thanked: 5 times	Cant you just use an IF statement? <!-- IF (PHP.usr.id != xxx --> plugins page here <!-- ELSE --> Sorry, you cant see this page yet --> <!-- ENDIF --> (where xxx is his user ID) Like this you can hide all the info from the page so he cant acces it while you and other admins can see it like normal. IMHO there should be more options to allow users in specific admin areas. Like that you can slowly increase what a (future) admin can see and let him practise and teach things without having access to other stuff. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Well, permissions in admin area are currently very simple, you're either an admin for the entire module/plugin or not. It would be relatively easy to change that for structure management in particular but not for other combinations of actions. May the Source be with you!

It would be relatively easy to change that for structure management in particular but not for other combinations of actions. It would be great to be able to assign people permissions for sections within the admin panel (that is what you mean with structure management right?). Cause till now only friends and people I know for many years I give admin access, but I have others helping which i would love to give acces to say forum structure, but not users. So, if those sections within the admin panel could be set like that I really think that would make a great feature. Even for business websites so if you hire someone to keep your site updated (page structure and plugins for example) you can prevent him from accesing users and main config. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />
