==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 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.
