Description: Some forum administrators like to restrict moderator access to private information of registered users, such as IP addresses. phpBB provides a useful permission setting for this, which is applied to information stored with posts and private messages. However, by default this permission setting does not apply to some sections of the Moderator Control Panel. This allows moderators to view IP addresses in log entries and user notes.

IP Permissions on Logs extends the functionality of the existing moderator permission for viewing post information. Once installed, IP addresses normally shown to anyone with Moderator Control Panel access will be restricted. Only users and groups with global permissions to view post information will be able to view these IP addresses.
