Assigning Admin Powers

An Administrator is a registered user who is in charge of how the entire ezboard community is customized and managed. To assign admin powers to a user is to give them control over how your community is run and how it looks (e.g. assign/revoke administrative or moderator powers, ban/unban users, delete/move topics etc., change colors and themes).

Key Information

• By giving a user Administrative powers – you are in a sense handing management of your community over to them as well. They can do everything the owner of an ezboard community can except transfer ownership or ban the ezOp.
• Be very careful who you grant Administrative powers to at your community.
• If the first time you assign admin powers it does not stick, keep taking the status away and re-assigning it until it sticks - or, have the new admin logout of their user account and then grant the admin powers.
