Multiple Admin Accounts - walkingby - May 24th, 2010 What would it take to have multiple admin accounts? I assumed changing the "account_type" field in the database to "admin" would allow for this, but it seems to be more complex than this. Any thoughts? Thanks! Brian RE: Multiple Admin Accounts - Ben - May 27th, 2010 Hi Brian, Yeah, I doubt that'll work. The reason being, a lot of the code assumes there's only a single administrator account - the first one (account ID = 1). May I ask, why do you need multiple accounts? All will have exactly the same permissions, of course. - Ben RE: Multiple Admin Accounts - walkingby - May 28th, 2010 Hi Ben, Basically...there will be multiple "admin" users of this specific install. ...and unfortunately the turnover rate is extremely high, so they are very concerned about security. Simply put...they are lazy and not wanting to change passwords every time someone leaves. (...which in my opinion is silly because they'd have to take the time anyways to create new admin accounts....so it's really more of a can this "easily" happen. ...which the obvious answer before I asked the question was "not really" ...but I thought I'd ask anyways...just to see if I may have overlooked something. ...but it brings up a valid item for the "Feature Suggestions." I have had the need for an "in-between" account. Not a user...but not quite an admin....where they have access to "some" features the admin has...but not all. Thanks for the response!

So much to do on this project...! - Ben |
