Otsikko: Possible to remove admin access to a single board?
Kirjoitti: nckswt - maaliskuu 18, 2009, 09:37:45 AP
This is a bit of an odd request, but is it possible to remove admin viewing rights to a specific board on my SMF 2.0 forum? There are two other people listed as admins on the site and, while I do the bulk of the site development, I shouldn't have access to this one board. Normally I just wouldn't go into it, but it shows up in the "Recent Unread Posts" tool that I use frequently.

Is there a way to password protect a board so that an admin could be denied access? Any other suggestions?

There are a few ways you can work this out:

1. Create a new custom membergroup and give it similar privileges as the default administrator except that this one won't have access to that specific board.

2. You can modify the code so that it blocked out all the posts from that board.

Went for option #1 and it worked perfectly! Thanks!
