rgiord54, the information at the link https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16466&forum=21&start=15 posted above was the solution. I'm just curious why that wasn't adequate.

Yours was okay but seeing the other lines for new people was better
88: case "delete_many_ok":
89: $count = count($memberslist_id);
90: $output = "";
91: $member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
92: for ( $i = 0; $i < $count; $i++ ) {
93: $deluser =& $member_handler->getUser($memberslist_id[$i]);
94: $groups = $deluser->getGroups();
95: if (in_array(XOOPS_GROUP_ADMIN, $groups)) {
I could see other lines above to make sure I was putting in right. I'm not a pro like you guys..
Thanks anyway
