Is there a way to give this to another user besides a super admin?

I have a membership admin that I want to grant the power to edit ‘member_group’ fields of other users but do not want them to have SUPER ADMIN rights.

I’m willing to hack if need be as this is the only profile item remaining that has to be done via the EE AdminCP instead of my SAEF using USER:EDIT

Hmmmmmm I also need them to be able to register new users…..

Not looking too good is it?

oregonshooter,

I actually wonder if group ID changing from member group other than Super Admins might be possible. What would need to happen is that the Member Group would have to have full permissions on editing/deleting member accounts.
And secondly, you’ll need to specify the group_id PARAMETER in the Edit loop as well so let User:Edit know you’re allowing permission to that group to edit.

Same thing should work with Register form using admin_register=“yes” parameter, and member group with full member editing permissions.

That’s all in theory anyways…. give it a shot.

I did try that but did not have the user enabled to delete accounts only admin them.  Did not show any output for me.

I decided to go a different route which was to deny access to the EE SYSTEM folder using .htaccess passwords and made the membership admin SUPER MOD powers by moving him into that user group.

If they can’t access the SYSTEM DIR they should not be able to use their SUPER ADMIN status to hurt anything that is not allowed through the front end of EE correct?
