El Dorado

Hi,

Forgive me if this question seems hopelessly dumb, but I'm confused about administrative priveleges in El Dorado.

I installed the program without difficulty on my linux based server. It runs fine. I started it and created an account called "jimp".

Now it appears maybe I am an administrator. Am I? How are administrative priveleges assigned? If another user comes along and creates an account, is he an admin too? Can I control this?

Sorry if this seems like it should be obvious but I am lost on this super important issue. I'm willing to read documentation if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

The first user account created is given admin privileges - I should make this more clear in the initial setup. That user (the admin) is the only one made automatically, but you can make others with that account. Essentially, they have privileges to do anything, while a regular user can only do things with their own account and the things they've created. One thing worth noting is that a user can delete anything they've created, including forum threads. This is a byproduct of having an extremely simple permission system. You can read more about it here:

Thanks! This answers my question, and I appreciate the quick response!
