❔ how to create an array to enter user for super admin

I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would use a string of arrays to let the user enter their username which would then grant them admin privilege's

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:15 PM

you mean an array of strings?

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:15 PM

do you want to have a list of all the names of people with admin privileges?

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:16 PM

yes my bad, an arrary of strings, I want it to be where when you enter a user name itll give the user admin privileges

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:17 PM

so is this checking for admin privileges or configuring who has them?

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:17 PM

it will check to see if the user has adm,in privileges and if they do not, will add them to the system,

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:17 PM

so it's configuring who has them

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:18 PM

what kind of application is this? console, winforms, wpf, etc

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:19 PM

im using visual studio for c# language

friedice•6/26/23, 7:29 PM

visual studio is the IDE, what application are you building?

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:33 PM

like what is the purpose of what I'm trying to code?

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:33 PM

do you have a GUI?

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:34 PM

i do not

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:35 PM

so that means it's a console application

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:36 PM

yes, and I have to run it through visual studio so that when a user enters their username, it'll add it to the super admin privilege's

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:36 PM

through a array of strings

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:37 PM

okay, so how far did you get so far?

zynOP•6/26/23, 7:38 PM

im half way through but I think i did it wrong, I just started using c# so I'm kind of clueless with where i'm going right now

Jimmacle•6/26/23, 7:39 PM

alright, share what you have so far and describe exactly where you're stuck
