Moodle - Adding or removing site administrators

How to manage site administrator permissions in Moodle

If you are a site administrator, you can give or revoke the site administrator permission for any other user on the platform by following the steps below:

Giving a person the site administrator role:

1. Go to Administration > Users > Permissions > Site administrators

2. The column on the left contains current administrators, and the column on the right is everyone who does not have administrator access. You can search for the person you want to give access to using the search box below the right column
3. Click on the person's name in the right column
4. Click on the "Add" button in the centre

The person will now appear in the left column and will have site administrator access.

Revoking the site administrator role:

1. Go to Administration > Users > Permissions > Site administrators

2. The column on the left contains current administrators, and the column on the right is everyone who does not have administrator access. 
3. Click on the person's name in the left column
4. Click on the "Remove" button in the centre

The person will no longer have site administrator access.
