What is the Admin Role module?
The admin role module is a Drupal module that creates a super admin role that can be assigned to any number of users, giving the Drupal site multiple super admins instead of only one
What features does the Admin Role module offer?
The admin role module provides some very nice features including:
- Automatically create a administrator role that has all the permissions for the Drupal site
- Automatically assigns new permissions to the role when new modules are added to the site
- The ability to enable or disable the administrator role
- The ability to treat the administrator role like a regular Drupal role, thus opening the possibility to great features to come
Steps to install and configure the admin role module:
- Download the module from http://drupal.org/project/adminrole
- Extract and copy the module directory to the sites/all/modules directory on your site
-
Enable the module
-
Navigate to yourdomain.com/admin/user/settings and make sure that the administrator setting is not Disabled
-
If you navigate to yourdomain.com/admin/user/roles you can see that a new administrator role was added by the module
-
If you navigate to yourdomain.com/admin/user/permissions you can see that the administrator role was given all permissions by default
-
When you add a new user to your site from yourdomain.com/admin/user/user/create you can assign the administrator role to it just like any other regular Drupal role
As you can see the admin role module is very useful and has a lot of nice features
I hope you enjoyed this Module Preview and stay tuned for more to come

I had the same problem as Phil. Your tutorial helped me to sort out the problem! Thanks very much! Regards, s.
Thank you for spending the time and effort to put together this tutorial.
Thank you for putting up a nice tutorial.
correction: the key was to uninstall the module, rename admin to administrator and reenable then follow the instructions above.
Same problem and situation as phill. However following your tutorial didnt help. After enabling the module, no administrator role was created. Any ideas? Drupal v 6.16 Admin Role 6.x-1.2
Thanks compujohnny!
Hi,
I learned about the admin role module from Angela Byron's contribution to the Lullabot Site Building training video, but it didn't appear in the User Management menu. Your tutorial cleared up all difficulties and helped me quickly assign all permissions to the admin user on a site under development.
Thanks much,
Phil
