Summary	06945: Superadmin can't edit all groups
Description	A user with Superadmin rights can't edit a group (and in some instances, can't see a group) if they didn't create it ... this doesn't seem logical? Is this an oversight or is there a reason behind this? Also A superadmin can't give superadmin rights to others unless they are the initial superadmin ... again can't see the logic here although this is clearly intended as in the code it states ..."// Only Initial SuperAdmin can give SuperAdmin rights"... I can work around this by changing my parent id to 0 but surely this isn't logical ... superadmin should be, well, super!?

pfpDave 2012-12-05 14:27 reporter ~22907	--> "Only Initial SuperAdmin can give SuperAdmin rights" will not be changed. Can I ask why? This doesn't seem sensible to me?

c_schmitz 2012-12-05 20:56 administrator ~22923	It is a security decision we did at some point in the past and people rely on it.

c_schmitz 2012-12-06 10:45 administrator ~22966	Fix committed to 2.1 branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=10754
