XF 2.0 How to Remove a Super-Administrator?

[nassella]

A super -administrator has kind of gone berserk. How to remove that person from that status?

You have to edit the config.php file on the server.
Remove his ID and save the file.

Thanks - what will it say on config.php file - do you know -so I don't miss it?

You can just demote them from administrator status - that will completely remove them.

The config,php line will look something like:

$config['superAdmins'] = '1, 2, 3';

Thanks - so you have to determine which number super-admin they are and remove them. I think they only have one super-admin actually so it will be easy - just remove the number (?)

It's related to the user ID.

It's related to the user ID.

Got it. Thank you!

I checked by /src/confic.php and it does not contain anything like
$config['superAdmins']

In the admin panel, I can make the "Super Admin" a regular "Admin" but I do not see an option to remove him completey from the list of administrators.
What am I missing?? Can't be that complicated to demote an "Admin" back to a normal user...

XF2 doesn't use the config file for super admins.

They are defined in the ACP only.

Click on the trash can.
