Revision as of 14:55, 12 September 2011

The Admin (short for Administrator) can do anything and go anywhere in the site. The Admin can edit their profile like any other user.

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 administrator from the Existings users list.

-In versions of Moodle prior to 1.7, only the [[Primary administrator pre-1.7|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.
