Someone made members admin, how to check who?

(1/2) > >>

Glowbot:
Two members were made admin on my forum, which caused a lot of problems.

The other admins say it wasn't them, and the admin log shows nothing.

Is it possible I have permissions set up wrongly somewhere, so maybe other membergroups could add to the admin group? how do I check?

Kindred:
if any group has membership assignment permissions, then that group can make anyone else an admin...

it's been reported as a security issue... however, I (and other argue) that you basically should not give that permission to anyone you don't want having adin in the first place.

Arantor:
It can also be if you delete all the post count groups.

How do you check if the membergroup has this permission please?

Kindred:
Look in your permissions?
