nForum members can be found in the Members section in teh umbraco back office/admin panel.
those members can be administrated there... they can be elevated by clicking on the properties tab for the member -- there is a checkbox to make them a forum admin, etc.
Hmm ok and are you the only person who has access to the backoffice? Or is there a super administrator account? The thing is that even though your user is an administrator the access to the sections can be hidden if you initially has not been granted access to that section.
That means that even though you have access to the users section and can create users and amend your own user profile you can't grant nor yourself or others users you create access to sections your admin is not allowed to access.
So if there is a super administrator that can access all then you should login with this account. If your users is the only administrator user I'm not sure what you should do to get access to the member section again. I suppose it would involve doing some stuff in the DB...which I won't recommend unless you're 100% certain at what you're doing.
No, other users have administrator rights aswell, but the I do not know the Super Administrator account, I can see in the DB that there are 2 users which should be super administrator's, "user" and "admin"... But I do not know the passwords for those 2.
Yeah okay, well, can you help me out with this? :)
Just to be clear. Usually there is not a "Super administrator" out of the box. There really only is ONE administrator.
But in your case it seems like there are variations of the administrator type.
Are you looking in the "umbracoUser" table? This is where you could do some "magic" to reset the password by setting the "passwordFormat" from hashed to either clear or text (can't remember, which one it is) in web.config...and then afterwards alter the password in the database and login with the newly set PW. Remember to change the attribute back to "hashed" when you have got it all under control and be sure to save the hash somewhere else before you start playing around with this, prefarebly take a backup first!
Some questions...
Hi
Ive just installed nForum a while ago, configured and so on.
BUT
How can I see the members/users that have signed up in the backend (/umbraco/) ??
How can I administrate those aswell?
How can I elevate users?
Those are some of the questions that I really need an answer for
Thanks in advance
Regards Daniel

Hi!
I do not have that section :S It isn't showing... You mean at the bottom with "Content, Users, Settings" etc?
are you logged in as the admin? if so, go to users... make sure members is added to your user profile.
I use my own user which is Administrator.
Members does not appear there, there is no checkbox for it...
Hi Daniel
Could you post a screendump, which shows the sections you can see in the Umbraco backoffice?

Hey Jan
Ive checked in the DB, and in the table UmbracoApp, I can see a section called "Member", but it doesnt show for any user?
And that happened after I updated to the latest version of Umbraco.
Hi Daniel
You should probably just tick it in the "Users" section on your "Users/Administrator" - It should be possible to place checkmark in "Members"
Hope this helps.

Hi Jan
As I told above in this thread, there is no checkmark box "Member", for a user... Its not there.
Hi Daniel
Oops, my bad :)
