Additional super admins can be added by authorized persons of the church via the support.  <\/p>\n\n<p>An <strong>admin<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a user who has been given permissions for the Administration of the installation by responsible persons in the church via the rights management of the installation.

It is better to authorize the admins separately via the rights management, ideally via an administrators group, through which the necessary rights are given. The head of this group has the access data for the super admin account and can access it if necessary.  <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group ct-artikel-zum-weiterlesen has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-89fd719a wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#f9fafb;margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:24px;padding-top:32px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:24px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Read more<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/administration\/super-admin-en\/17-what-is-a-super-admin\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7649\">What is a super admin?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/verwaltung\/super-admin\/35-super-admin-hinzufugen-bzw-entfernen\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7646\">Add or remove Super Admin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/rechteverwaltung\/berechtigungen-vergeben\/28-wie-vergebe-ich-ein-globales-recht\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7595\">How do I assign a global right?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Super Admin is a concept in ChurchTools that is used to designate certain accounts that should have full access to ChurchTools.
