The Super Admin User Account
Users designated as a "Super Admin Account" have the highest authority, rights, and control in Mura. These "Super Admin Users" can:
- Create more Super Admin Users
- Create & manage System Groups and Member Groups for any site
- Create & manage System Users and Site Members for any site
- Add new sites
- Update the Site Settings of existing sites
- Access and use features included under Global Settings
- Full access to the File Manager
- Ability to install, manage, and delete plugins
- Create, publish, and modify content for any site
- And much more!
In short, Super Admin Users can do pretty much anything and everything Mura offers. As noted in the first bullet, only Super Admin Users have the ability to designate other Super Admin Users. Also, Super Admin Users may, but don't necessarily have to, belong to any user group(s).
Yes, Super Admin Users have great power, and as the old saying goes, "With great power, comes great responsibility." Obviously, anyone you choose to designate as a Super Admin User must be someone you can trust.
How to Designate a Super Admin User Account
First and foremost, only Super Admin Users have the ability to designate other Super Admin Users. So, you must be logged in under a Super Admin User Account to perform these steps.
- From the back-end administration area of Mura, select Users from the main navigation, then Users.
- Locate and select the user you wish to designate under either the Site Members tab, or the System Users tab.
- From the User Maintenance Form, select the Advanced tab.
- Under Super Admin Account, select the Yes radio button.
- Click Update to save the change.
- The user account is now a Super Admin User. The user should now have a star icon next to their name in the System Users listing.
