The security administrator role is optional. When it is enabled regular administrator permissions will be restricted, allowing two levels of administrator to exist on a site.

Enabling Security Administrators

For a further discussion of security administrators and how they affect the permissions of administrators please see roles in Kinship.

Note: Once the security administrator role has been enabled on a site it cannot be disabled. To enable the role:

1. Click on the Expand button to the right of the Security Admins section
2. Click on the Enable
3. Confirm in the dialog box.

Once the role has been enabled, the existing administrators do not get automatically upgraded to security administrators. Hence, it will be up to the owner of the site to create the first security administrator. 

These security administrators will then have the rights to assign security administrator roles to other members.
