Is there a way to give a client a temporary admin flag, and then later remove it if needed?

Don't ask why I want this (no it's not an XY-problem). Just say if it's possible or not, and if so, how I can do it.

I am looking at these functions:

https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/admin/CreateAdmin
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/admin/SetAdminFlag
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/admin/RemoveAdmin
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/ad...nImmunityLevel

Examples would be useful. Thanks!

EDIT: I want to note that the given information is a steam ID, not a client index or client name. So basically, what do I write in the function below?

PHP Code:

public void GrantTempAdmin(const char[] SteamID)
{
    // what goes in here?
}

Depends, how much time are u looking to?

Yep, definitely possible. Take a look at this plugin and its "trial" admin stuff.

So it's something like:

PHP Code:

public void SetTempAdmin(int iClient)
{
    AdminId admin = CreateAdmin();
    SetAdminFlag(admin, ADMFLAG_GENERIC, true);
        SetUserAdmin(iClient, admin, true);
} 


And maybe I should put that under OnClientAuthorized so I can do the steam2 ID comparison?

You're missing BindAdminIdentity from your list.

The auth type for Steam IDs is just "steam" (as seen in admins.cfg)

Keep in mind, that only adds them to the admin cache, and the cache gets refreshed for that player when they reconnect, or map changes.

I'll give it a try and post back when I got something. Thanks for all the advice!

You could do something like this

PHP Code:

        bool bHasRootFlag = GetAdminFlag(admClient, Admin_Root);
        SetAdminFlag(admClient, Admin_Root, true); // Give them root flag
        FakeClientCommand(client, "sm_addban %d \"%s\" \"%s\"", minutes, steamid, reason); // Add ban
        SetAdminFlag(admClient, Admin_Root, bHasRootFlag); // Remove root flag

But, this is a very quick way of doing it and for one flag. I'm not sure if this'll help you at all, but if it does then you are welcome lol
