Admins (short for Administrators) can do anything and go anywhere in the site. In versions prior to 1.7, only the primary admin may assign or remove admin rights for other users. In 1.7 this is not true.

In order to assign an existing user on a Moodle site as an admin, one must first login as the primary admin user =

  1. On the Moodle site's home page, locate the "Administration" sideblock
  2. Click on the "Admin..." link located at the bottom of the block
  3. Click on the "Assign admins" link
  4. Select any of the users from the right column ('potential admins') of the screen and then click the "<" button.

Removing admin rights

Follow the instructions above but select the existing admin from the left hand side and click the ">" button instead.
