Multisite admin user access question

    So, I just got a multisite instance of WordPress 3.0.4 put up for a service I am going to be offering a few people to help them out.

    Here is my dilemma/question(s):

    – Can I give blog users “admin” access but disallow them to add plugins and themes, while still allowing them the ability to enable the ones they wish and modify the settings of the existing plugins and themes to suit their needs?

    – Can I throttle the amount of upload space each blog is allowed without them having the ability to change that limit themselves?

    Thanks for any help.

    Alrighty, well, I’ll have a double check of my htaccess tonight sometime and see if that’s alright and go from there.

    Thanks for all the insight…I am really hoping I can crowbar WordPress into working for this project!

    Ha, something EMPTIED my htaccess, I suspect when I was playing with permalinks…so, the multisite works now but I can’t have cool permalinks, only page_id=### or whatever…can the nice text permalinks be used with multisite? I assume so, is there some htaccess hack to let both of them work?

    There are copies of the htaccess here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite

    No hack should be needed at all – pretty permalinks are default in multisite, really.

    huh, default, yeah, but not working.

    Grrrr.

    Well. Which default are you using? You MUST have .htaccess for MultiSite to work fully, so which one are you using? Can you post it here?

    yes, htaccess is in there, and I am loggin in and out while at work, trying this and that.

    Before this morning post, I had htaccess for the subdirectory multisite in there…went and clicked around a bit checking out the admin tool and I am not sure why, but this morning htaccess was empty…I did see that it was empty until after I posted…after I re-added the htaccess it worked fine.

    I’ll mess with the permalinks thing tonight.

    I think I’m lost as to where we are in the debugging chain. Can you just reiterate what the current problem is? ??

    Just full of ideas to try tonight whilst drinking a couple homebrews.

    *heh* Remember: Code THEN drink ??

    And it may be time for a fresh topic with your next question.

    Well, hows about that, now I just enable the permalink thing and it worked just fine, and so does the subsite…I wonder WTH the problem was last night…weird.

    I guess I will need to find a new reason to enjoy a couple homebrews tonight.

    Thanks all. Cheers.

    “It works” is a good enough reason IMO. ??

    Just as an addendum, since there seemed to be some confusion…I created a user in my subsite, and gave them “admin” privledges…and I see no ability to add/install plugins or themes…rock! Epic win!

    Crack out a bottle then!

    *cheers*
