CMSMS 1.6.7 user deletion/removal

Post by darkfool58 »

Hi Guys

I have got cmsms 1.6.7 loaded on my current cmsms install and was wanting to deactivate/delete a user how do i do this as cant find the delete/deactivation button in either the user list screen or the edit user screen.

Thanks

In the listusers/edituser, this option is available. Probably not when being logged in as that specific user itself.

But for 1.6.7 I am not sure, as that is an old version. In the 1.8 and 1.9 series I know that it works like that, btw, only last and semi-last versions are supported....

There should be a 'trash can' icon next to all other users except for the account that is currently logged in.

realised a trash can doesnt get generated for the user thats created at time of installation.

How do you delete this user?

Thanks

You can't delete the original user in the admin panel.. You can delete the user by removing the appropriate entry in the database.

Dont delete the original user. You can rename him, and change password, but deletion is not possible in the backend for a reason as the default users account is used for internal actions.
