I have Admin priviledges and I try to change a user's group from Admin to another group (i.e. remove him from Admin), but the group change select box does not appear at all on his profile? It works for all other users?
 
Are all users who have Admin status equal as far as their priviledges? Is there a "super" Admin status?
 
HELP PLEASE!!!!
 
Adam

If he has the default admin account then you can not change it.

The default account is the first member in the database... and you can not change it as its hard coded into the forum.

OK I understand.
 
Can I change this user's name? Can I delete him?
 
I can access the database and change it manually. Would that screw thing up a lot?

You can change the username.

You can NOT delete the main admin account is HARD CODED into the code. If you delete the main admin account your forum will not function correctly. Same goes for the "Guest" username (second record in the members table).

OK OK I understand believe me.
 
My question is this: If this account's name is Bob and I wish to change it to John - is that possible? What happens if I do it manually in the database?
