At the moment a disabled board can be visited by admins, moderators and global moderators.
This is controlled here: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/blob/a1a6ff45557cb98a7a5861d005f66c319b14d58f/phpBB/phpbb/user.php#L372
// Is board disabled and user not an admin or moderator? |
if ($config['board_disable'] && !defined('IN_INSTALL') && !defined('IN_LOGIN') && !defined('SKIP_CHECK_DISABLED') && !$auth->acl_gets('a_', 'm_') && !$auth->acl_getf_global('m_')) |
It would be better, if the Admin could decide between those 3 options:
- only admins can access/post in disabled boards
- only admins + global moderators
- only admins + all moderators
