Brett_Campbell Member Aug 12, 2014 #1 HI Team How do i add someone as a super administrator to my forum? I'm having troubles. Thanks
BoostN Well-known member Aug 12, 2014 #2 Open your /library/config.php file and edit this line: PHP: PHP: $config['superAdmins'] = '1'; List the user IDs separated by comma. Like this: Code: Code: $config['superAdmins'] = '1, 5, 9'; They'll also need to be put into the Administrators group in the AdminCP. Upvote 0 Downvote

Groups are user groups and there is an administrative user group (adding to which doesn't make someone an administrator). Upvote 0 Downvote
