[Paul Wernham]

I've changed the config file to 1,2,3
Still only two of us are superadmin, would a third.
Help please

Is the third person an admin in XenForo? The super admin thing only bumps up an existing admin.

 

[Paul Wernham]

yup set as admin

 

[Paul B]

Can you paste the line of code here from your config.php file?

 

[Paul Wernham]

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

 

[Paul B]

And those three values match the user IDs of the administrators?

 

[Paul Wernham]

ah, that'll be the problem where do i find the user id

 

[Paul B]

Hover over the user's name in the ACP or forum, or open the profile page, it's the number appended to the end.

For example here yours is 6212: http://xenforo.com/community/members/paul-wernham.6212/

 

[Paul Wernham]

all sorted now, thanks, that was the problem user ids.

What can superadmins do which admins can't? (no messing about here I really do not know )

 

[Paul B]

A Super Administrator can not be created or edited by an Administrator and always has all permissions in the ACP.

Good thing that check is in place otherwise some random person would have become a super admin.

So should I take the "1" out of my config.php and leave only the "4" since for some reason I am member #4? There are no other members yet, so I don't know what happened to 1, 2 or 3.

 

[Paul B]

Yes.

Is this a clean installation?
Have you perhaps created and deleted some users?

Yes. You will have to put the idea of the admin that you want set up as super admin.
