An administrator in Moodle, manages the overall site.  Typically, the administrator supervises the look and feel that makes their organization's Moodle unique. 
 
The administrator is the top level category of privileges ([[Roles]]) in Moodle. A user's privileges can hide features and functions from a user depending upon their level. While roles can be created, the standard installed roles from the most privileges to the fewest are: the primary administrator(admin), an administrator, course creator, editing teacher, non-editing teacher, student, and guest. 
 
:In an initial standard install, Moodle will create the primary administrator with a user name of admin.  This user can assign others to the standard role of Administrator.  Initially, these other Administrators can not assign others the role of Administrator.  While it is possible to modify this rule, it is not a best practice.

Admin conduct
 
Administrators are expected to lead by example and to behave in a respectful, civil manner in their interactions with others. Administrators are expected to follow moodle policies and to perform their duties to the best of their abilities. Occasional mistakes are entirely compatible with adminship; administrators are not expected to be perfect. However, sustained or serious disruption of Moodle is incompatible with the status of administrator, and consistently or egregiously poor judgment may result in the removal of administrator status. Administrators should strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy and civility to other editors and to one another.[2][3][4][5]
Administrators should bear in mind that they have hundreds of colleagues. Therefore, if an administrator finds that he or she cannot adhere to site policies and remain civil (even toward users exhibiting problematic behavior) while addressing a given issue, then the administrator should bring the issue to a noticeboard or refer it to another administrator to address, rather than potentially compound the problem by poor conduct.
