How to give diffrent Admin access to diffrent modules?

Hi

I wonder if there is any way to do this:

On my site I have a God Admin and I want to make a few more admins who each of them have access to administrate diffrent modules. As it is now when you make a new admin you have to give him all access or only access to News or Forums etc.

What if I have a module which needs weekly administration for some change (or daily) and I want to give permission to change only this module to an admin? How or what can I do?

Acctually a friend of mine ask me this question and it sounds intressting to me too.

Best Regards.

This was posted for me when I asked the same question:

What I do, for the easy fix, is to find a module that is listed in the menu that I don't use. Like Encyclopedia.

Then, you need to modify 2 files. First admin/links/links.blocks.php. It looks like this

Code:

 


if ($radminsuper==1) { 


    adminmenu("admin.php?op=BlocksAdmin", ""._BLOCKS."", "blocks.gif"); 


}

Modify it to look like this

Code:

 


if ($radminsuper==1||$radminency==1) { 


    adminmenu("admin.php?op=BlocksAdmin", ""._BLOCKS."", "blocks.gif"); 


}

Next modify admin/modules/blocks.php. It looks like this at the top

Code:

 


$result = sql_query("select radminsuper from ".$prefix."_authors where aid='$aid'", $dbi); 


list($radminsuper) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi); 


if ($radminsuper==1) {

Modify it to look like this

Code:

 


$result = sql_query("select radminency, radminsuper from ".$prefix."_authors where aid='$aid'", $dbi); 


list($radminency, $radminsuper) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi); 


if (($radminency==1) OR ($radminsuper==1)) {

Ok Thanks!

But would you please tell me what would happen when I do these changes?

I didn't understand it well.

Could you please tell me more?

Thanks.
