so I searched around and didnt see any posts about this...

is it possible to change who the site admin is? I have rooted through the prefs and havent seen anything to that effect, and it would really help me to pass the admin status to a different username I have on the site.

any help is most appreciated !!!

System Admin->Groups

You can add whoever you wish into the Webmasters group.

If you are referring to changing an existing Admin...
>> Login
>> Click Administration Menu
>> Hover over System Admin
>> Click Edit User
>> Select the Admin account you want to rename
>> Select Modify User from the drop down box
>> Click Go
>> Make the desired changes on the form provided
>> Verify that Webmaster is selected for Rank
>> Click Submit

If you are referring to creating a new Admin....
>> Login
>> Click Administration Menu
>> Hover over System Admin
>> Click Edit User
>> Complete the Add User form
>> Verify that Webmaster is selected for Rank
>> Click Submit

In either case, you may want to verify the user's membership in the Webmaster's group...
>> Hover over System Admin
>> Click Groups
>> Click Modify next to Webmasters
>> Verify that the user is added under "Edit Members of this Group". If they are not, highlight their name and click Add.
>> Then click Update Group

Hope this helps.

hrm, I have the user set as webmaster already...but it wont give me access to the administration menu, which is what I wanted :\

maybe I could delete the user I want to grant access to and change the name of the current admin to that user ?
