Firstly, I like your original idea. You should still pursue requesting it. And your second question, its in config.php I think, to set account access to do some things
I like that idea to and I will pursue requesting this script, the /promote function will for sure work but in some way it would be (can sound a bit stupid but...) a more serious impression for the player thats gonna be given the gamemaster access. Now I have to ask the player to create a character, login to be able to use the command /promote and after that access my database to change the page_access. Doesnt it sound difficult?
For me it does
So that would be a great script. It could for example work like this?
* Create/Promote to tutor/senior tutor/gamemaster/community manager/god and save/update the character to a account
with all the right attributes in the database.
You type the account number and new characters name in a form, choose if you just
want to promote or create a player and what kind of group it should belong and then "Create/Update"
seven radio buttons and two text field?
----IDEA----
ACTIONS
RadioButton1: Promote
RadioButton2: Create
ACCOUNT INFORMATION
TextField1: Account# (If you have RadioButton2: Create checked)
TextField2: Character name (When you have RadioButton1 & 2 checked. Cause you have to type a name eather if your gonna create or promote a character)
GROUP
RadioButton3: Tutor
RadioButton4: Senior Tutor
RadioButton5: Gamemaster
RadioButton6: Community Manager
RadioButton7: God
SAVE
------------
That is just one example but it's just a hint on how it could work.
I could probably write two or three more ideas but if someone with knowledge enough
want to take this idea into action he/she could absolutely make this idea more optimized
without any major changes.
I dont really know a solution so I can avoid asking for the players
account number yet. It could work eather way but once again it's a serious
impression to the player that the server staff dont have to ask for
the account information. If you as a god steps up infront of a player
and ask for the account number so that you can promote them
my first impression would be "SCAM!"
I tried to rewrite somethings in the original code. I made 5 samples
Tutor/Senior tut... ect.
Then I tried to make it able for those who have the right access to create there own gamemaster
but as you may have noticed my knowledge of PHP/MySQL are very limited.
The request is still standing.
Hope you understand my english, there might be some typos somewhere and the post looks a bit messy.
Sorry for that, that happends when I try to write the images I have in my head
.
Thank you for reading & kind regards,

EDIT:
When it comes to my seconde question I solved it. Now God's and Gamemasters have two different administration panel's.
And ofcorse I want to share this if someone want to do the same thing.
So I posted the tutorial
