Re: How to remove Admin
Admins can not be removed.
Re: How to remove Admin
On the page FORUM » Administration » Users » Groups
In the middle of the page it says:
The pre-defined groups Guests and Administrators cannot be removed. They can however be edited.
You need to be able to administer your forum.

Re: How to remove Admin
I have two former admins who wants to be downgraded to regular users. Is there no way to do that? We still have two remaining admins, but I don't see anything in the admin pages to downgrade people to another user group.

Re: How to remove Admin
You can not downgrade admin from forum.
It is one way to do it — change user groups in database.
Re: How to remove Admin
I confirm what has been said.
Go in your database (with PHPMyAdmin for example, or in command line if you like it), search the users tab, find your user, and change its group_id value from 1 to 3 (or more if you have a corresponding group)

Oh well that is me. :-)
I changed the group_id for those guys. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
Re: How to remove Admin
You don't have to go to db for changing admin to regular user.
Administration > Users > Searchers > search for user > check user you want to change > change group
Although it would be nice, if it could be done from regular "User > Administration" :-)

Re: How to remove Admin
That seems to work for me too, although not necessary anymore. Thanks for the tip.
