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

| | |
| == Create new admins ==
| |
| In order to assign an existing user on a Moodle site as an admin, one must first login as the primary admin user =
| |
| | |
| # On the Moodle site's home page, locate the "'''Administration'''" sideblock
| |
| # Click on the "'''Admin...'''" link located at the bottom of the block
| |
| # Click on the "'''Assign admins'''" link
| |
| # 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.
| |
| | |
| ==Roles in 1.7==
| |
| See [[Assign roles]] for assigning administrative roles. There is no default primary administrator role in 1.7, just administrator. The new role system was designed to migrate users in with their previous site and/or course role assignments.
| |
| | |
| Remember in 1.7, it is possible to add a new roll (for example called) Primary Administrator and to slightly harden/restrict the Legacy Administrator role.
