Bug Disable Idle by User Group?

[stig]

I believe this has been an issue from day 1, but clearing the tickbox for "auto-idle" for my admins/mods appears to do nothing?

They still time out as per "normal" users.

Thanks,
Dave

In Instance Management, at the bottom, Instance Permissions, in the column, Is Auto Idle are any of the usergroups ticked?

Thanks for the rapid reply!

Yes, Registered users is ticked.. I want them to still auto-idle, but not mods/admins..

And unregistered is ticked too.

 

[Ozzy47]

So Admins and Mods are not ticked?

 

[stig]

that is correct.

Ok Fillip H. will have to answer you when he gets a chance, I know it is working correctly on here, so I don't know what else to check.

OK, I just did some more experimenting..

I have another group - Verified users.

If I disable auto-idle on THAT group, it works as expected?

No worries, thanks for the help

The behaviour you are experiencing is normal if your admins are a member of both Verified Users and their normal staff group.
