XF 1.5 For what is a XenForo Super-Moderator?

[vFranky]

Hello,

what is the deeper sense of a super moderator. Why would I move a moderator to a super moderator group? What rights are connected with a super moderator? Are you using super moderators?

And why and when do you put the user ID in the config file? I want to understand the deeper concept of this user group and the relevance to user management.

Kind regards & thank you in advance
Frank

Adding an ID in the Config is for making an admin a "Super Admin" in which case they cannot be deleted.

"Super Administrator" isn't the same as "Super Moderator".

You can set "Super Administrator" in the config and "Super Moderator" in ACP at /admin.php?moderators/.

Super Administrator can't be deleted and his permissions or ACP User Editing by other Administrators. Administrators = Permissions in ACP/Backend. Moderator = Permissions in Theads&Posts/Frontend.

There is written an explanation: "A super moderator can moderate the entire board." or from help "When creating a moderator, they can be defined as a Super Moderator or Forum Moderator. A super moderator is able to moderate all forums, except where node permissions prevent that. A forum moderator is only able to moderate those forums for which they have been granted permission."
