XF 1.5 "Administrative" - Not much is checked with Fresh Install? Is this Admin? Check All?

[Astrongtower]

Hello,

I have a fresh install of Xenforo.

Is the user Administrative the admin? Why is not much checked? If I want "admin" that is created to be a super admin or do everything, I just check all and save right?

Why is there not a Super Admin by default, where everything is checked?

For add someone to SuperAdmin you have to add his user ID (number) into config.php in row for that.

In XenForo, administrators and moderators are separate roles. Admins have access to the control panel and don't normally get many permissions on the front-end out of the box. The first member is also a super moderator with all permissions selected.

A super admin is just a user that has access to everything in the control panel. The front-end is always controlled by the permissions applied to that user (groups, user-specific permissions).
