You can have several levels of Admins in your community site.

• Each level gives the associated user the access and management privileges that are necessary to fulfill their administrator role and its related set of responsibilities in your organization.
• The Admin role determines the set of responsibilities, as described below.
• Higher Logic sets a default, pre-defined set of permissions for each role which determines the role's level of access within your site; these pre-defined sets of permissions cannot be changed.

Admin levels

Super Admins

Super Admins have the highest level of access to a site: They can do everything Site and Community Admins can do and they have access to a host of Super Admin-only tools and functionality, all accessible from the Admin interface.

Community Admins

Community Admins can update their community's join and view permissions, add and remove Community Admin access, add new members, restrict and remove current members, run reports, email members, moderate Discussion and Library items, manage community events, manage any community Volunteer Opportunities, and more.

Site Admins

Site Admins can update their site's layout, apply a theme, upload site imagery, set up advertisements, manage their Volunteer program, use the CMS to edit, create, and remove pages and content, and more.

Task-specific admin users

In addition to the Admin levels mentioned above, a community can have lower-level admin-type users who assist with a dedicated set of tasks.
