    In progress Transferring Head Admin abilities

    Post by Sunny2 June 27th 2012, 12:07 am

    Is there anyway to give another admin the head admin (site owner) abilities? I'm stepping down on my site, and need to give someone else my powers; but I'd like to keep my account.

    The transfering over part , we have been told (by the old Admin) that the people who run Forumotion need to transfer the old Admins old email address for the new Admins email address and password etc, personally I would have thought that it would be some type of automated system. Any help and advice would be welcomed

    Hi Sanket, thanks for your promp post. Yes I have read the above and could not find in it anything that implied that the transfer needed your assistance, which it why I thought I would ask for a more expert opinion on here. Could you just verify for me that as far as the transfer of Founder Admin goes she should be able to carry it out quickly and easily herself without any help from yourselves?
