Can you make a Facebook user a moderator?

I have enabled Facebook authentication, but I'm unable to figure a way to make one of them a moderator/administrator for the forum?
Thanks!

Try having them sign in the regular way Use the same user name and they will be asked to create a new password for vanilla They can still use facebook to log in.

Users connected via social signin are no different from regular users.
You can assign the moderator role by editing the user in your dashboard.

Yep, I found it. Didn't show up right away as with an email. Just had to be patient. Digging the forum. Very nicely done![:) :)](https://open.vanillaforums.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/smile.png)
Yea you go to the users and edit them and change their role. I don't use this form of connecting so I assumed it requires a password when you save the edited User... Coz you can't save the edit user if there is no password in that field.

So, playing around, I deleted my FB user. Then signed in again. Now when I try to change the role to moderator and administrator I get the following error. Ideas?
