Post subject: Administrator is leaving my site Reply with quote
The initial admin who put together the site I run is leaving for a bit, and certainly doesn't want to be an admin any more. He wants his account demoted to a regular user. The problem is that whenever I try to demote his account in User Permissions of ACP, I get an error saying that I couldn't do that. So, I went into the DB and just changed his user_level. Well, now even when I go to User Management in ACP and try to change his password, I get the error "Sorry, you're not authorized to view/change these settings." So, I'm assuming that his account is protected because it was probably used during the initial install of phpBB Security.

What do I need to do to get things right again?

Thanks.

admin/admin_users.php

#====               
$owner = '2';

   if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']))
      {   
      if ( ($user_id == $owner) && ($userdata['user_id'] != $owner) )
         message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, $lang['PS_admin_not_authed']);
      }

I'm slow. Are you saying that I can't change his account settings? Is there anything that I can do to my account that will give me the permissions required?

Thanks.
