Probably simpler to just control that directly via the conventional user group permissions settings per forum that you can already set via the Pun control panel - ie 'make the Admin Notifications' forum only viewable by users who are members of the group 'ISP Users', not Guest users. Etc

It's almost impossible to control bunch of users old and new registred...

You could add an IP-checking function to the start of every file in /admin, either by direct editing or (better) through an extension.

That check could also be done simply in the common file which is always included by every admin file.

1) Find the file which you want to modify
2) Find the appropriate hook
3) Modify that hook in your extension

and will that method can detect the people who have static ip.

mmm i was looking for ip user detection thing, to see if one user have mutiple accounts. i mean some people make 10 accounts.

Unless they are on a static I.P, I.P address detection methods to prevent multiple registrations, (or for most other scenarios, for that matter), will be a complete waste of time. Unless one has strict control of whom connects and how, I.P methods are fairly useless. An I.P can change in the blink of an eye.

Can You add restrictions per IP class/range to specified forums?
