Question Remove Mod abilities of Administrators in category

I have a category in my forum that's limited to just Administrators. Its where we discuss moderating and ongoing things on our site.

Since all of the people who use it are Administrators, they all have moderator abilities in this category as well.

I'd like to remove their moderator abilities in this category only. Is there a way to do that?

I was thinking if I only set them as moderators in all the other categories and not that category, that'd work. But I don't want each person listed as moderators of each individual category in the forum view. Is their a way to hide specific administrators?

Thanks for any assistance.

what version you using?

1.5.12

u can try but not sure

1. go to your kunena user administration > select user > assinged a moderator or admin > Moderation : select your category to want to moderate.

2.go to your kunena forum administration select your category & in Forum security and access > Locked: yes >Admin Access Level: select ur level.

i think u can to that, sorry to say i have no remember coz i'm using 1.6

thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.

Administrators have write access even in locked categories and so the idea suggested by deshivoicechat won't work.

Administrators have extraordinary privileges. I can't see how you can restrict those privileges in one category (irrespective of whatever version of Kunena you are using). I would imagine that your might have some success with an ACL-based approach (which isn't "native" to Joomla 1.5) but that's about the extent of my technical knowledge on the subject.

I would recommend to your co-administrators that they respect the integrity of the category and that they don't use their forum moderation rights to mess things up. In other words, I would ask them to refrain from "moderating" the internal "moderators" category. This unspoken rule seems to work quite well here at Kunena.com where we, likewise, have internal categories.

Tough assignment. We don't have those problems.
