No, you can't do that. But you shouldn't have to do that when you properly configure Admin Tools. What I mean is that you should do the following:
- Set up an "Administrator secret URL parameter". This wil prevent random people from seeing your administrator login page and submitting the back-end login form.
- If all Super Administrators have static IPs, also use "Allow administrator access only to IPs in Whitelist" after whitelisting their IPs. This will forbid anybody else from being able to access the back-end login form and your backend in general.
- Set up the "Email this address on failed administrator login" and "Email this address on successful back-end login" features. This will give you a heads up when someone does try (or succeeds) in logging in to your site's back-end.
- Set up the automatic IP banning of repeat offenders. Someone trying to brute force your secret URL parameter will get blocked, slowing him down so much to make brute forcing unviable.
Therefore your issue translates to "what can I do if someone breaks into the network of one of my administrators (to work around the whitelist), brute forces the username and password of that person and I don't see the emails warning me of all those attempts over several hours/days/months/years?". Well, yeah, if that happens it's time to log in to your site, activate the Emergency Off-Line mode, restore from the latest off-site backup and change all passwords.
