Administrator Permissions

edited May 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

It seems like a user I created as Administrator doesn't have REAL Administrator rights like the admin user.

This user I created cannot edit/delete posts made by regular members. I have to login as admin in order to delete a member's post.

Is this by design?

    I didn't realize you have to check the admin permissions again when you create a new category.

    I always thought that admins have super duper powers. Like, when you add categories, admins automatically have super duper authority on that new category.

    I hope that answers your questions about what to write on the Wiki :-)

    Nevermind. I didn't realize you have to check the admin permissions again when you create a new category.

  • BTW, thanks UnderDog. You made me think hard about the roles/permissions.
