 uglystupid2 Sibyl, After the problems I had now I cant set admin permissions for anyone but myself, Meaning acouple people that need limited admin funtions the admin tad will not show. I have set the permissions for that member group and set the member groups in those members profiles. It is showing in the member groups the number of members in those member groups..
  No this is not my first rodeo, I only give access to the ones I know and trust and that is limmited acess at that. none that can kill the board on me. I retain full permissions with a backup account now that I can use if my primary one gets screwed up somehow. I have been down the list of senerios but no I just plane is stumped.

If you set them as an additional membergroup in their profile the original membergroup is the one that is going to show up on their profile and in posts.    As admin you can see the secondary by checking their profile > acct related settings,  and if their additional group is set to admin you can see that as well in the admn section.    Check Permissions by Board.. check the permissions thoroughly for trhe group they are in.    Make a test accoutn using that group for yourself to check it.. its the best way to be sure you  have it set properly.      Afraid Im only on a brief moment here and have to go..  Im only around a little bit until Monday.   Someone else will be able to help you if you are still stuck Im sure.

don't worry it wont work you have to put the people that you want to be able to have the admin link like an admin too like you are i tried on mines too but it wont work so if you want more people to use that link you would have to give them the permissions that you have which means you would have to make them admins

 Sent you a pm with some ideas of things to check and no it wouldnt have to do with server issues and has to be something in your settings.    Also please let us know exactly what it is you want that group to be able to do.   Be specific please.   That would go a long ways in helping to clear this one up for you.   There are some things that only those in the Admin account CAN do.

Not true.   By giving a group certain permissions that require Admin access to use them, they would have the Admin tab on the main tab bar.   You do not have to make them an Admin to do this.

For instance Modifying the Membergroups Permissions for a Membergroup and checking any of these would put the Admin tab on the main tab bar for that Membergroup to use:
