Control Panel » Forum » Management of forums and sections

You can assign a site moderator or an administrator only via the Control Panel.

1. To assign a moderator to the forum log into Control Panel through http://site_address/admin .
2. After you have got to the CP main page go to the Forum section.
3. Click on "Management of forums and sections".
4. Choose the forum where you want to assign a moderator and click "Change" (wrench icon).
5. Find the line "Forum moderators:".
6. Click "+" near the window.
7. Enter the username of the moderator you want to assign and click "Search".
8. After the user have been found click on his/her nickname.
9. After you have clicked on the username the user will be added to the "list of moderators"
10. Save the settings and go to the forum pages to make sure that the moderator has been assigned.

HAYRENIQWEB, you should change the lost password yourself and then send it to the user.

Do not give administrator and moderator rights to people of whom you are not sure! It may lead to site theft and other unpleasant things.

Is it safe to make someone admin at your site?

It is possible to give someone admin rights only on a certain page ? So he can't edit other pages.

adi, you can create a new group and edit the permissions of this group so that its members will be able to edit only some definite module. Just put the corresponding checkmarks.

Thanks for your answer, but i did what you said. and if i check " Edit information on site pages", he could edit all the site's pages. my problem is that i want to let him do that only on certain pages, not all of them.

CP -> Users -> List of users -> User -> Group -> Change to default 'Moderators'
(If you have default group of this, user wont be able to moderate whole forums)

CP -> Forum -> Management of forums and sections -> Select board & Edit ->
-> Forum moderators -> + -> Persons name & Search -> Click on name -> Change.

hello, we have a registered forum and i'm one of the moderators. i'm hopelessly trying to change the users' ranks. The only administrator hasnt shown up for at least four months and we desperately need to do some changes. is there any way to reset his password or add another administrator, or do we have to register another forum and start all over again?

tnx

You cannot restore or reset anything as moderator.
You'll have to register a new website/forum. http://ucoz.com
