Administrator role
From MoodleDocs
Admins can do anything and go anywhere in the site, however only the primary admin may assign or remove admin rights for other users.
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 for that site. Then:
- On the Moodle site's home page, locate the "Administration" sideblock
- Click on the "Users" link
- 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.
