As of Commentics v1.2, there has been the ability to create extra admins. This can be useful when managing busy sites where there are many comments to approve and maintain. During the installation of the script, a default admin account is automatically created which is assigned the role of ‘Super Admin’, meaning that it has a high level of privilege. This privilege allows the Super Admin access to the Manage -> Admins page. In this part of the admin panel it is possible to create, edit and delete accounts. If any other admins attempt to access this page they will instead see an error message saying “Sorry, only the super admin can access this page”.

Despite the inability to access this area, all admins are still able to manage their own details (in Settings -> Administrator), the difference is that they can not manage the accounts of others. For the system to work correctly there should always be a Super Admin, so for this reason it is not possible to delete the Super Admin account, nor disable it. Disabling an account has the same affect as deleting it except it can be re-enabled at any time. At present there can only be one Super Admin. If there is enough demand for multiple Super Admins then this will be implemented. This can be asked for at the Feature Requests section of the forum.
