[2.0] Global Mod can modify and remove Admin Posts

<< < (6/6)

and setting a flag on a post to say "this is an admin post, only other admins can remove it" seems like a waste of processing.

Yeah I know, some people also mentioned global mods removing admins. Either way, I agree that modfying posts permission should not exclude admin posts. And as Arantor stated, new behaviour is global mods can't remove admins unless the admin specially gives the permission to manage forum (which is actually making the mod an admin practically).

Not quite. It's not actually admin_forum.

As of RC4, groups can be set to protected, which means one can only remove that group from another user if the person performing the action is either proper admin (group 1) or belongs to that group and also has manage-membergroups permission.

It also can't be assigned in a similar fashion.

Elmacik:
Admins (group 1) do automatically have all the permissions including manage-membergroups. Plus, any membergroup can have the manage mamabergroups permission that admin may decide; will be able to manage members and the groups. That's why I said as you stated, SMF has changed the default behaviour, which previously allowed any member group that has the permission delete the admin accounts.

Arantor:
I was just confirming when it happened, but before RC4, I thought only group 1 users could add/remove group 1, it was more the case that you could create a group with all permissions that would not be so protected.
