[[Administrators|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.
 
==1.7==
See [[Assign roles]] for assigning administrative roles.  There is no default primary administrator role in 1.7, just administrator.
