commish password bug

beorn · 08-20-2007, 11:54 AM

In an online league, when you go in as commish to "act as" a team, you get two buttons: "Set commish password" and "Set password."

However, if you use "set password" to change the owner's password, you actually only change the commish password.

Just to be certain, can someone verify this?

Someone? Is there, at present, then no way to change a GM's password as the commish?

You cannot change another GM's password using Act As, and there's no reason you would be able to. Acting As gives you control of the team, it doesn't give you control of the GM. You're still logged in as you, the Commissioner - you're just controlling a different team. That's why, for example, it says "Act As Boston", not "Act As Steve". Using Act As doesn't change the fact that you're still seeing your Manager Options screen, not the Manager Options screen for whatever GM might also be assigned to the team you're temporarily controlling.

If you want to change another GM's password, you need to properly log in as them (the Commish password will let you do this). Do that, and all the password changing options work just fine.
