    Firstly put the member in the Admin usergroup. Then edit their admin permissions under Usergroups -> Adminstrator Permissions.

    Now if you want to let the user edit the administrator permissions and so he is undeletable go to your config.php file and edit this line;
    $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1' and add a comma after and then put the user's ID number.

    So if the user is number 45 it should look like this:

    $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,45'

    ;)

    Yeah that would work for default administrator permissions, The thread starter is talking about all permissions.

    you can change permissions for specific admins through usergroups > Administrator Permissions
    this also works for full admin permissions
