Would you happen to know how to simply detect if a user is admin in code within custom JS CP…
```
var uid = req.user ? req.user.uid : 0;
user.isAdministrator(uid, function(err, isAdmin) { });
```
is what i have tried but things are not declared…

@pwsincd I think you can use userData.isAdmin = isAdmin; if I’m not mistaken - see

@DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

@eveh this might be a question for the NodeBB Devs themselves. In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure without having to research this myself.

@crazycells hmm. Good point. I actually use my own version of the dark mode plugin, so not entirely sure. However, I think the CSS is probably the same. I’m not at my PC currently but can check and advise later.

@DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.
