I have a user that is currently a Super Admin, but I would like to move this user to a different group. With Mambo 4.5.1a I don't get the selection window anymore when the user is Super Admin.

Any idea what I can do here?

Hi there... I found this by clicking the Help button in the Add User menu from Mambo...
----
There are four (4) Frontend groups available:

Registered - This group allows the user to login to the Frontend interface.

Author - This group allows a user to post content, usually via a link in the User Menu.

Editor - This group allows a user to post and edit any content item in your web site.

Publisher - This group allows a user to post, edit and publish any content item in your web site.

There are three (3) Administrator groups that allow access to the Mambo Administration section:

Manager - This group allows access to content creation and other system information.

Administrator - This group allows access to most administration functions, for example, changing templates, and adding Modules, and Components etc. They can administer lesser users (editors and users) but cannot create other Administrators.

Super Administrator - This group allows access to all administration functions. The Super Administrator can create any other user type (except another Super Administrator).

NOTE: You cannot assign a new or existing user to a group "higher" than yourself (for example, a user in the Administrator group cannot create or edit a user in the Super Administrator group). A user in the Super Administrator group cannot be removed from this group, nor can they be deleted. For an explanation of user groups, refer to An Overview of User Groups and Access Control and Administrator Login.

As you can read, you can't change the SuperAdmin to another group. But... I think that for every problem there's a solution. So goto the controlpanel of your site and open phpmyadmin. Goto the database with all your Mambocontent. Open table MOS_Users and browse for the user you want to change... Once you found it edit the field gid from 25 to 18
Once you've done that... the user is Registered instead of SuperAdmin...

Other option is to disable the account.
That will work, the account still exists, but can no longer be used.
