The specialness of UserID #1
Linc
Admin
I see in several places that UserID #1 is required for upgrading and that any permission that doesn't exist is only accessible by UserID #1.
This presents an interesting issue. I'm not UserID #1 on either forum I run. What if someone installs a forum and then wants to turn over technical management to another user? It's happened to me twice now, and more if I'd let it!
Are there plans to move away from the specialness of UserID #1? Perhaps a superadmin could be alternatively defined in the config file rather than assuming it's UserID #1.

For now you'll have to update that field in the database directly.
