XF 1.5 User Group permissions for Super Administrator ?

[Surendra.S]

Hi,

I am trying to understand Permissions system. I had a look at Brogan's document and user help guide for permissions.
Having few basic doubts.

==

When I imported data from vBulletin, I can see that main admin (User # 1) is listed in XenForo system as :
Super Administrator,
Administrator,
Moderator

And this user's Primary User Group is mentioned as 'Administrative'.

Now, I can't see any separate User Group called 'Super Administrator'.

Does it mean that User #1 is always assigned with ALL permissions available in the system (Super Administrator) ?

(or) Does he inherit any permissions from Administrator user group as his primary user group is listed as Administrative ?

If I set some tasks as Not Set (No) in Administrative User Group, then this User#1 will not be able to do those tasks ? or, all these rules does not apply to him ?

The primary user group for ALL users should be Registered.

There is no Super Administrator user group in XF out of the box.

Permissions are cumulative based on all of the user groups a member is in - there is no user group/node/member specific heirarchy.
