Set a usergroup as 'admin'

[[TS] mindfulhacker]

I have multiple variations of my staff groups, eg Admin and Admin+.

However, those in Admin+ cannot use admin tools, such as FPP.

Is there any way to set my Admin+ group as 'admin', allowing the IsAdmin() to work?

You'll probably want to look into your inheritance tree. From the sounds of things, you have that set up wrong.

I don't believe I have done it wrong - It is exactly how I would like.

I have 2 'trees' of inheritance.

The Donator Tree:

• superadmin - Inherits from HeadAdmin
• HeadAdmin - Inherits from Admn+
• Admin+ - Inherits from Moderator+
• Moderator+ - Inherits from TrialMod+
• TrialMod+ - Inherits from DiamondVIP
• DiamondVIP - Inherits from PlatinumVIP
• PlatinumVIP - Inherits from GoldVIP
• GoldVIP - Inherits from SilverVIP
• SilverVIP - Inherits from BronzeVIP
• BronzeVIP - Inherits from user

And the Regular Tree:

• Admin - Inherits from TrialMod
• Moderator - Inherits from TrialMod
• TrialMod - Inherits from user
• user

This is so non-donor staff do not use the donator jobs, etc.

Going loosely off this FAQ thread, forked inheritance trees usually cause problems with can_target. Seeing as none of the groups you've made inherit from admin or a group which inherits from admin... you aren't gonna get very far.

for IsAdmin to work you need to inherit from Admin.
None of your groups inherits Admin so that's why it's not working.

"Admin" is also not the same as "admin".
Lua is case sensitive.

This is true. Another reason why in general you should just keep all of your group names lowercase.
