Hi Hannes,
Haha awesome.
Thanks so much for letting me know about this! Good hack.
However, I guess I still don't quite get it... What's the purpose? Any admin account would have the same permissions as any other one - so they could all delete eachother. For that reason alone, I figured having a single one just made more sense.
Is it just so that everyone would have their own unique username-password combo? Sharing a username-password certainly isn't great, but...
I'm totally open to adding this as a core feature, but I still need a little convincing!
Hmm... okay, how about this. We could have a new account type: "editor" (have a better name for it?) which would be sandwiched in between the admin and client accounts. So we'd have:
- administrator (1)
- editor (multiple)
- clients (multiple)
The admin account (there would only ever be one) would have all the same privileges right now. Editor accounts would have control over all client accounts and all the other admin features. However, they wouldn't have control over other editor accounts (or even see them).
This would also open the floodgates to adding custom permissions for each editor account, so you could control their access certain features, modules, themes and clients.
I like this! Let me know what you guys think.
