MyBB Community Forums

How do I set myself as super admin?
I had a member, (fellow admin) on my forum, and I asked for super admin turned back over to me, it didn't happen, so, my question is, how do I get it back?

When I try and change this person to a regular member in the Admin controll panel, it keeps telling me "You do not have permission to edit this user because you are not a super administrator."

What do I do now?


Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Run this in phpMyAdmin:

ALTER `mybb_users` SET `usergroup` = '4' WHERE `username` = 'YOUR_USERNAME';

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your username.

Where do I find the phpmyadmin area? On the site orr in the C-Panel?

It'll be in cPanel, not sure where since it's different for pretty much everyone. But it should be in a MySQL area.

Ok, I found the area.
Question: Create new table on database

Then there is an empty box which asks for a name to be put in, then: another box asking for the number of fields

Is this the right area?

No. Click the "SQL" tab, then enter the code I gave you before and click "Go".
