The Admin (short for Administrator) can do anything and go anywhere in the site. The Admin can edit their profile like any other user.
Assigning users the role of admin
To assign a user the role of admin:
- Go to Settings>Site administration > Users > Permissions > Site administrators.
- Select a user in the potential users list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add it to the existing users list.
- Note It is not possible to remove the primary admin from the Existings users list.
Primary administrators
In versions of Moodle prior to 1.7, only the primary admin could create admins or remove admin rights for other users. In Moodle 1.7 onwards there is no primary administrator. However, a duplicate administrator role may be created with slightly fewer capabilities allowed.
